Engineering Manager - Frontend Infrastructure

2 years ago

StackAdapt is a self-serve advertising platform that specializes in multi-channel solutions including native, display, video, connected TV, audio and in-game ads. We empower hundreds of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance everyday. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform, it’s a hub of innovation, imagination and creativity.

Platform Engineering:

The Platform Team at StackAdapt includes the Full-Stack Engineering, Product Management and Product Design Teams. These teams are responsible for designing and developing StackAdapt’s web platform which is where users can forecast, build and report on their campaigns and much more. It is also where StackAdapt’s internal teams use a wide variety of tools to manage customer accounts and help them get the most out of the product.

The Frontend Infrastructure Team:

The Frontend Infrastructure team hosts and manages our in-house UI component library. We frequently sync with design and product teams to build components that improve the developer workflow, promote a good user experience, and have a strong focus on accessibility. The team is dedicated to defining best practices and will assist in refactoring our code bases to align with those standards. The team also focuses on creating proof of concepts to investigate new frontend libraries that we can potentially introduce to the Platform team. One such example is for the team to drive the StackAdapt internationalization process.
