Our two-time Emmy® Award-winning technology is widely deployed by cable, satellite, and telco operators. We provide a device-agnostic solution delivering ads to the right household no matter what program or network you’re watching, how you're watching, or whether you’re in front of your TV, laptop, cell phone or any other device. INVIDI created the multi-billion-dollar addressable television business that today is growing rapidly globally.

INVIDI is right at the heart of the very exciting and fast-paced world of commercial television; companies benefiting from our software include DirecTV and Dish Network, networks such as CBS/Viacom and A&E, advertising agencies such as Ogilvy and Publicis, and advertisers such as Chevrolet and Verizon.

These traits allow INVIDI partners to transform their video content delivery network, revamping legacy systems without significant capital or hardware investments. Our clients count on us to provide superior capabilities, excellent service, and ease of use.

The goal of developing a unified video ad tech platform is a big one and the right Directors of Software Development – like you -- flourish in INVIDI’s creative, inspiring, and supportive culture. It is a demanding, high-energy, and fast-paced environment.

About The Role

We seek highly dedicated, motivated, and passionate Directors of Software Development (Data) --like you-- who can inspire and lead multiple teams to find the best solutions to data driven problems. We embrace the Agile methodology and as part of a scrum team you will play an important role in all aspects of product development—strategy, product roadmap, requirements, design, development, integration, and testing. And you will share in the pride and satisfaction as your work makes it into production at INVIDI’s clients.

Our platform handles tens of thousands of req/s with sub-second response times across the globe. We serve ads to some of the biggest live events in the world, providing reports and forecasts based on billions of log rows. These are some of the complex challenges that make dev work at INVIDI interesting and rewarding. To accomplish this, we use the best frameworks and tools out there or, when they are not good enough, we write our own. Most of the code we write is Java with Dropwizard, but every problem is unique, and we always evaluate the best tools for the job. We also work with or are looking at working with technologies such as SQL, Kafka, Kafka Streams, Flink, Spark, AWS (AWS Analytics Services, Columnar storage, Athena), Google Cloud (GKE, App Engine, Pub/Sub), Riak and Go.

You are an outstanding leader in data driven organizations who loves to develop distributed high-volume systems. You care about the craft and cherish the opportunity to work with smart, supportive, and highly motivated colleagues. You are curious; you like to learn new things, mentor, and share knowledge with team members. Like us, you strive to handle complexity by keeping things simple and elegant.
