What You’ll Do:
Ampush Media is looking for an efficient, resourceful, well-rounded engineer to join our development team.

- Build tools that integrate with major ad platform APIs including Facebook, Google, Bing, and various DSPs
- Collaborate across teams to develop dashboards, analytics interfaces, data feeds, and other tools
- Assist with client onboarding and maintenance development requests
- Help code user-interface for internal applications, client pages, and landing page assets
- Assist QA team with testing and providing feedback on bugs identified
Who You Are:
Our developers must love to solve problems, build things, and code. Hackers welcome. :-)
What You’ll Use:
- PHP/MySQL (MongoDB also a plus)
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JQuery
- Pens, papers, and your brains
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with SEM, SEO, and display advertising
- Previous experience in online advertising, performance marketing, or lead generation

- Previous startup experience
- Sense of humor is always appreciated!
