Description

You would be a senior frontend engineer on the team behind the editor, the creative core of the company's platform.

The company is an AI-powered advertising technology business. Its platform covers media, creative and intelligence, powers more than 800 billion impressions and generates over 300 billion creatives a year.

The editor lets customers design, animate and scale millions of image, video and HTML template assets.

The Helsinki-based squad solves hard frontend problems so that large global brands can turn one design into a worldwide campaign, using complex state management and canvas-based interactions. The team relies mainly on React and TypeScript while staying open to other tools.

The company serves 700+ brands and manages $6B in ad spend across Facebook, Google, Instagram, Pinterest, Snap and TikTok. Forrester has named it a Leader in its Creative Advertising Technologies Wave, and PwC has validated its results.

Hiring runs in four steps: a recruiter conversation, a meeting with the team lead, technical interviews with a coding exercise and a systems design and architecture discussion, and a final meeting with the VP of Engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Own vertical slices of the editor from design through to deployment, end to end.
  • Break complex work into the smallest increments that deliver customer value quickly.
  • Work closely with Product and UX to turn complicated requirements into well-designed, well-built software.
  • Make key technical decisions and trade-offs, weighing long-term architecture against near-term product needs.
  • Contribute at core level to the Creative Engineering Group, keeping the frontend and core packages fast and scalable.
  • Mentor others and guide the team technically through useful code reviews and knowledge sharing.
  • Move projects forward on your own initiative, clearing blockers as they come up.

Requirements

  • At least 6 years building robust, complex web applications, with strong frontend skills.
  • Deep expertise in React and TypeScript, including state management and performance tuning.
  • A track record of running projects independently, staying persistent and self-directed when technical problems get hard.
  • A drive to excel and to keep growing.
  • Fluent written and spoken English.
  • Analytical ability to turn a broad product vision into concrete technical tasks.
  • Motivation to solve customer problems and deliver value at pace.

Conditions

Hybrid role: you split your time between the Helsinki office and remote work, with 3 days a week in the office.

You may work abroad for up to 30 days.

The company aims to be an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected and heard.

Benefits

  • An inclusive culture built on trust, transparency and open feedback, with over 850 people from more than 60 nationalities across 24 locations in 13 countries.
  • The chance to shape the company's global impact on customers and growth.
  • Generous healthcare, mental health services, paid holidays and family leave.
  • Equity options, performance-based rewards, competitive pay and career development.
  • The Culture Handbook explains more about working there.
