Full Job Description

Our vision is to build a world class audio advertising program and deliver more than $1B in revenue by 2030.

- You are able to communicate your ideas effectively to achieve the right outcome for your team and customer.

- You harmonize discordant views and lead the resolution of contentious issues (build consensus).

- You lead design reviews for your team and actively participate in design reviews of related software or other team software at your location.

- Your code, design, and implementation decisions set a great example to others and demonstrate best practices.

- You provide insightful code reviews and take ownership of outcome.
