Your Role at MediaLab

MediaLab is building the Ad Platform of the future to maximize publisher value. MediaLab Engineering supports a growing number of applications across multiple verticals that integrate with our internal Ad platform, processing billions of impressions a month.

The Engineering team is composed of inquisitive, savvy engineers who have experience working in large scale systems. If you’ve designed complex, scalable systems, built powerful, easy to integrate SDKs, or worked on challenging problems in consumer products, this is the place for you.

The Assembly team works predominantly in Golang, and prior experience in this language is a strong requirement. More than checking the boxes on specific technologies though, we’re looking for a driven engineer with real technical depth and a desire to understand the entire business. As the Tech Lead of Assembly, we want someone who is passionate about their craft and sees opportunity in providing technical guidance to the product while aiding in the development of an exceptionally talented engineering team.
