Job description

MediaLab is a media & technology company focused on acquiring and growing properties and global brands. The organization is a unique combination of private equity, holding company and operating entity. We continue to expand and are proud of the prominent market position of our brands.

Come join an exceptionally talented team of engineers, designers, product and business builders. HQ is located in sunny Santa Monica, California with growing teams in New York, and across cities in the US and Latin America.

Your Role at MediaLab

MediaLab is building the Ad Platform of the future to maximize publisher value.

The technical effort involved is massive. MediaLab Engineering supports a growing number of applications across multiple business verticals which have been acquired through a careful selection process to integrate with its internal Ad platform that processes billions of impressions a month.

The Engineering team is incredibly talented and includes senior engineers and leads who have experience working in large scale systems. If you've designed complex scalable systems, built powerful and intuitive user interfaces, or worked with great teams on hard problems in consumer products, this is the place for you.

On the Assembly team, which is responsible for developing and maintaining MediaLab’s proprietary ads platform, you’ll focus on using Golang to build efficient and robust microservices, with opportunities to also develop with React/JavaScript for some of our internal tooling. We also utilize cutting-edge technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform, and more. While experience with these or similar technologies is preferred, we're more interested in individuals who can learn and adapt quickly. We're seeking driven engineers with deep technical expertise and a strong desire to understand the broader business. We value passion and a deep commitment to the company's success.

What You'll Do

Maintain and improve the existing Golang codebase

Lead the design and ownership of new features, including architectural decisions, task creation and delegation, and overseeing releases

Configure infrastructure in GCP using resources such as GKE, IAM, etc.

Write comprehensive unit and end-to-end tests, using Docker Compose for test setup and GitHub Actions for automation

Utilize Datadog for logging and metrics to effectively monitor and analyze the performance of new features

Increase system performance by identifying bottlenecks and developing effective solutions to address them

Conduct code reviews to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices

Debug and investigate issues in production systems

Develop reusable code and libraries for future use

Manage and resolve security issues identified by the security platforms used by the team

What We'Re Searching For

5+ years experience as a professional software engineer

BS degree in Computer Science or similar technical field of study is preferred but not required

Ability to meet tight deadlines

A passion for implementing best practices and a bias toward smart automation

Proven ability to collaborate with and mentor other engineers

Experience building massively distributed systems, or building intuitive, feature-rich user interfaces.

Capable of prioritizing multiple project in order to meet goals without management oversight

Proficiency in Golang or other backend languages

Previous experience with microservices infrastructure, Docker and Kubernetes

Should have a good understanding of GCP or other cloud computing platforms

Familiarity with application monitoring tools such as Datadog

Experience working in cross-functional teams

Can independently manage and complete a project from start to finish with minimal oversight

At MediaLab, we rely on a range of backgrounds, experiences, and ideas. We value diversity, and we’re proud to be an inclusive, equal opportunity workplace.
