What We’re Looking For We value people who:

• observe deeply,
• question complexity,
• communicate clearly,
• and design with intent. You should be comfortable operating in an early-stage startup environment where:
• ambiguity exists,
• systems evolve rapidly,
• ownership matters,
• and initiative is highly valued. This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow beyond interface design into:
• systems design,
• product thinking,
• platform architecture,
• and ecosystem experience leadership.

Design Philosophy We Believe In

• Cognitive efficiency over decorative complexity.
• Systems-first thinking.
• Trust-centric interfaces.
• Humanized infrastructure.
• Clear communication over visual noise.
• Scalable design over trend-driven aesthetics. We believe great design is not decoration. It is operational intelligence made understandable.

• Designer → Product Experience Thinker → Systems Designer → Ecosystem Experience Architect. Explore the journey of working within an early-stage startup building:
• advertising infrastructure,
• SDK-first products,
• developer ecosystems,
• creator monetization systems,
• and marketplace technologies.

Disclaimer: Due to the large volume of applications received, we are only able to respond to successful candidates.

Consider the early career program: Programmatic ad-tech is an exceptionally niche industry, and very few schools or workplaces truly expose people to its technical, operational, or business realities — especially when combined with emerging interactive and immersive advertising experiences. Because of this, we understand that strong candidates may come from lateral career shifts or seemingly unrelated backgrounds. While we review every application for relevant experience and education, resumes alone rarely reveal curiosity, systems thinking, adaptability, or genuine interest in the industry. Established players in this space rarely allow experienced talent to circulate freely, and we recognize the challenge of building in such a rare ecosystem while bootstrapping. We encourage applicants to research the industry before applying, avoid applying blindly, and tell us why this space excites you — especially if you are willing to pursue an early-career journey of learning, exploration, and growth while transitioning from another field.
