ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND ENGINEERING TEAM
Centro is building the world’s most respected product and engineering organization. This is a bold claim, and one we do not make lightly. Of course, we can back it up: Ad Tech is one of the hottest technology sectors today, with the worlds most distinguished product and engineering organizations vying to be the first to truly and forever disrupt a $200 billion industry.
Of course, delivering technology that changes the way an industry does business requires a massive product, design, and engineering effort. To do our heavy lifting, we attract talent from an array of disciplines to work in highly-collaborative, agile, cross-functional teams. Together we tackle the complexity of scale that comes from performing 30 billion transactions per day. We innovate with machine learning and Big Data solutions to deliver optimized campaign performance and recommendations. We create elegant user interfaces that unite all the functions of our platform into one, seamless, intuitive, and delightful experience.
Together, we are winning advertising tech, will you join us?
ABOUT THE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE TEAM
The Business Intelligence team is responsible for transforming Centro's data into actionable information across the organization. This ranges from daily performance reports to real-time historical analysis. Currently we use the Pentaho suite as our business intelligence platform and PostgreSQL for our database platform. We believe in Agile software development and use Scrum as our project management methodology. 'Inspect and Adapt' is more than just a catch-phrase to us. We are willing to have every problem under the sun exactly once, in exchange for never having the same problem twice.
