Sales Engineer, Gist Ads

We're looking for a Solutions/Sales Engineer who can sit with a publisher's ad ops team, AdTech solutions architect, or platform engineer and go deep on implementation, troubleshoot in real time, and design integration approaches that actually work. As a Sales Engineer at Gist Ads, you'll be deeply embedded with Ads Engineering and BD, spending most of your time on partner integrations, ad ops collaboration, and technical solutioning.

Requirements

• 5–9 years of experience in AdTech, programmatic advertising, or digital media with hands-on technical depth
• Mastery of the programmatic ecosystem: OpenRTB, header bidding (Prebid.js), SSP/DSP integrations, ad serving (GAM/DFP), tag management, and bid stream mechanics
• Experience working across the supply chain — publisher-side ad ops, SSP solutions, DSP integrations, or agency trading desk technical teams
• Comfort reading and writing code at a functional level (JavaScript, Python, or similar); ability to review tag implementations, debug API calls, and interpret log-level ad data without hand-holding from Engineering
• Strong understanding of ad quality, brand safety, viewability measurement, and third-party verification (IAS, MOAT, DV) as they apply to display and emerging format types
• Experience supporting integrations with major SSPs (Index Exchange, Magnite, PubMatic, Xandr, Teads, Sovrn, or similar) and/or DSPs
• Exceptional communication skills — able to lead technical conversations with engineers and simplify complex concepts for non-technical stakeholders in the same meeting

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Professional development and growth opportunities
• Chance to make a significant impact on the company's success
• Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI technology
• Collaborative and innovative work environment
