About the Job

The Sovrn Platform team is building a new, extensible platform to enable publishers to leverage a wide variety of products to support their businesses.

You love technical challenges and solving problems all while striving to improve our data architecture, our software, and your team. You believe that the engineering team owns the quality of the product and you design with this in mind. You embrace diversity of thought and opinion, supporting others even when you disagree.
