    Default job background
    Description

    We shaped the earliest forms of ad tech, and we're looking for the technical expertise to help shape its future. Our customers have unique problems that can only be solved at internet scale, and that's where the technical skills of our team make a real difference.

    Our exchange handles over 350 billion requests every day (for comparison Google serves an estimated 9 billion searches a day), all running in our own global data centers. Every member of our technology team has an enormous amount of autonomy in building and managing our systems to support and enable our growing level of scale. Through the transparency of our technology, dedication to innovation and integrity, and long-standing customer relationships, we lead through change.

    What's it like to work at Index?

    We have more than 550 Indexers around the globe dedicated to building a safe and transparent marketplace that provides a trusted experience for consumers.

    Index is an exciting and fast-paced place to work. We're built on our values of change, support, learning and teaching, trust, and intention. We pride ourselves on our independence and openness, not only in our technology, but in our teams, too. Our diverse and inclusive culture celebrates how we can leverage our unique differences to help drive Index forward.

    Our culture of success is truly supportive and collaborative. In working together across our teams, we're continually investing in the people and technology to solve the industry's most complex problems. As we extend the promise of ad tech to every channel, we're looking for talented engineers to help advance Index, and the industry, forward.

    Are you ready to join the programmatic evolution?

    Index Exchange funds the open web. Content and journalism across the internet are funded through advertising, and we are the engine that helps to make that happen transparently, safely and efficiently. Handling hundreds of billions of auctions per day within milliseconds requires an intense understanding of the exchange and the ecosystem that we live in.

    Our business is growing significantly every year and is poised to grow even faster. Our people and our platforms are the foundation and enabler of that growth. We are significantly expanding our technology teams, and are looking for technologists with a passion for high performance software development, and a drive to deliver software products and platforms that enable and empower industries at a global scale.

  • Governance & Oversight: Implement strategies and best practices to achieve and maintain performance across all systems and services. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and optimize our observability, instrumentation, and 24x7 command and control governance systems.
  • Incident Management: Lead incident response efforts, overseeing the rapid resolution of critical incidents while minimizing service disruption. Develop and refine incident management processes, ensuring clear communication, efficient escalation paths, and robust post-incident analysis.
  • Reporting and Analytics: Develop comprehensive reporting mechanisms to track system performance, operational metrics, and service-level agreements (SLAs). Provide insightful reports and analysis to senior leadership to inform strategic decision-making.
  • Vendor and Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with external vendors, partners, and internal stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of services. Manage relationships and contracts, ensuring alignment with business needs and standards.

    • Here's What You Need:
