We process more than 550 billion real-time auctions every day (in comparison, Google processes 8.5 billion searches per day) with ultra-low latency. Our platform is vertically integrated from servers to networks and runs primarily on our own metal and cloud infrastructure. This end-to-end infrastructure is designed to provide both stability and agility, enabling us to adapt quickly as the market evolves.
At the core of it all is our engineering-first culture. Our engineers tackle internet-scale problems across tight-knit, global teams. From moving petabytes of data and optimizing with AI to making real-time infrastructure decisions, Indexers have the agency and influence to shape the future of advertising. We move fast, build thoughtfully, and stay grounded in our core values.

- Support technical execution during high-stakes live events, helping ensure smooth delivery and timely issue resolution under pressure.
Mentorship & Enablement
- Help other IT team members build confidence with tier-1 AV tasks and basic troubleshooting.
- Share knowledge through documentation and informal training, including runbooks, knowledge base articles, and quick-reference guides.

Customer Service
- Provide white-glove, end-user-facing support to staff at all levels, including executives and their assistants.

- Ability and willingness to travel: regular travel to Kitchener, ON, and periodic international travel to our European, APAC, and US offices (primarily New York). A valid passport is required.
- Ability to lift and move AV equipment and perform occasional physical installation work (ladders, racks, cable pulls).
Preferred Skills
