Technical Project Manager - AdTech

Location: Croatia, Serbia

POSTINDUSTRIA

Postindustria is a technology services company specializing in end-to-end custom software development and IT staffing for startups, small and mid-size businesses, and soon enterprises. We help our clients to imagine, design, engineer, and deliver business-defining software and digital experiences, whether they’re looking for a fully managed team, scalable workforce, or individual engineers.

Unlike most outsourcing companies, Postindustria has a successful “outcubator” with extensive experience creating leading products from scratch and managing them throughout the lifecycle.

About the role

We are looking for a highly skilled Technical Project Manager to lead and drive projects within the AdTech domain, overseeing mobile, web, and server verticals. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background, excellent leadership skills, and a proven ability to manage complex software development projects in a fast-paced environment. You will work with various client projects and tasks in the AdTech domain – prepare to be flexible.

Your contribution

• Deliver projects across mobile, web, and server platforms.
• Help with project discovery, planning, and architecture.
• Work with the stakeholders from the client’s team to define project goals, scope, and deliverables.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical feasibility.
• Proactively identify and resolve project risks, dependencies, and blockers to ensure timely delivery.
• Work closely with engineering teams to ensure technical feasibility and scalability of AdTech solutions.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in AdTech and programmatic advertising.

Expertise you need

• 10 years of experience in IT, and 5 years of experience in technical project management, preferably within the AdTech, digital advertising, or media industry.
• You have a provable (we will test you) knowledge of Computer Science fundamentals including Algorithms and Data Structures, Databases, Networking, Operating Systems, Compilers
• You are a hands-on engineer capable of coding in several programming languages. Ideally, you can code in some of these languages – Python, Swift or Kotlin, JavaScript, Go, Java (or other) – at a level where you can troubleshoot and patch problems while having a solid understanding of others to oversee technical decisions and assist where needed.
• You are capable of architecting systems, designing APIs, and writing public documentation.
• You are a deep thinker and problem solver, attacking problems from first principles and viewing them from multiple angles, including business, technology, security, and compliance perspectives.
• You are agile and able to learn new concepts and jargon quickly, thoroughly, and precisely.
• You are platform agnostic and familiar with a wide range of technologies. You can work with various tools that allow you to get the job done efficiently – whether that means running and debugging projects in Xcode, AndroidStudio, GoLand, etc., or even using command-line tools like gdb when needed.
• You have a strong understanding of cloud technologies, virtualization, containerization, and related technologies that impact scalable, high-performance AdTech solutions.
• A good level of English and technical writing skills is a must – the ability to write public documentation in a clear and concise way is crucial.
• You are a result-oriented manager capable of balancing between pushing the code into production and doing necessary admin tasks.

Nice to have

• Prior contributions to open-source projects.
• Familiarity with IAB standards such as OpenRTB, OpenMeasurement, TCF/GPP.
• Computer Science, Math, Physics, or Engineering degree.
