Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Ensure Kargo's in-app advertising is reliable and performant across various devices, SDKs, and mediation layers. This role involves deep technical investigation of the ad lifecycle and implementing optimizations to reduce latency and improve render success rates.
Requires over 5 years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on mobile app advertising technologies and the programmatic ecosystem. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred.
Kargo creates powerful moments of connection between brands and consumers to build businesses. Every day, our 600+ employees work to radically raise the bar on what agentic AI, CTV, eCommerce, social, and mobile can do to deliver unique ad experiences across the world’s most premium platforms. Taking a creative science approach to all we do, we continuously innovate solutions that outperform industry benchmarks and client expectations. Now 20+ years strong, Kargo has offices in NYC, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Sydney, Auckland, London and Waterford, Ireland.
Techies who want to build the future. Creatives who want to design it better. Communicators to win business. Collaborators to build it. Data pros who turn numbers into insights. Product builders who turn ideas into innovations. Anyone eager to be on a team that doesn’t stop to ask what’s next, because they’re already building it.
Mission
This role exists to keep Kargo's in-app advertising reliable, performant, and revenue-ready across a fragmented ecosystem of devices, SDKs, mediation layers, and demand sources. It owns deep technical investigation across the full ad lifecycle — from bid response through rendering and measurement — and helps elevate in-app advertising into a first-class part of Kargo's platform. Without it, creative breaks silently across partners, integrations stall, and in-app revenue leaks through bugs no one can trace.
