Who We Are
We deliver solutions, not features. We believe our customers deserve to get the best quality product possible. We strive to achieve high levels of innovation and agility while maintaining best-in-class performance of our products and services.

Pixability is a video advertising technology company that helps media professionals deliver revolutionary campaign performance across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Our award-winning solution empowers advertisers to activate video at every stage in the consumer journey in order to deliver impactful business results. We’re honored to be featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Adweek, Digiday and other leading business and advertising publications. We’re known for our results, innovation, and especially our culture.

Did we mention? In 2016 alone, Pixability was named Boston Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Company, BostInno’s Coolest Companies, Gartner’s ‘Cool Vendor in Social Marketing’, and was a finalist for MITX’s Most Innovative Ad Technology.

Our Culture
Why you want to work here:

  • Emphasis on work/life balance - Seriously
  • In office massage therapist - No, seriously
  • Group yoga and boxing - Get your zen on in & out of the ring
  • Unlimited vacation policy - Wait, we probably should have put this one first
  • Quarterly volunteering events - Giving back is good for the soul
  • Weekly happy hours & catered lunches - Plus, snacks on snacks on snacks
  • Hackathons - Now's your chance to build that giant account-managing robot
  • Relaxed dress code - Let your freak flag fly

The Role
We are revolutionizing the world of premium video advertising. Your work will impact online audiences and marketers worldwide - seriously. As one of the UI Engineers at Pixability, you will be in a position to build and improve Pixability’s technology and product. This is a UX-heavy role and you will work very closely with product. Unit testing is part of our standard development routine (we maintain 80%-95% coverage depending on repository and project state). The UI Team sees Functional Programming as a way of life (we love small, single responsibility functions, pure wherever possible). 100% of code moves through a team member reviewed pull request process - while a second pair of eyes never hurts, the driving force is team cohesion.

What You Bring to the Party

  • Attention to detail, organizing your work well, and sticking to commitments big and small
  • Proactive approach to collaboration and communication
  • Experience working on a team to build and then support complicated web applications
  • Ability to navigate the large ecosystem of JavaScript technologies with ease
  • Experience with at least one big UI framework to build an app from the ground up (Angular, Ember, React, Backbone, ExtJS, etc).
  • You thrive on designing and coding something new and cool that will be used everyday by people worldwide.

These will catapult your resume to the top of the stack:

  • AngularJS 1.x
  • Typescript or ES6/ES2015
  • Functional Style Programming
  • Unit Testing (we use karma and jasmine)
  • CSS Preprocessors (SCSS)
  • Package managers (npm, jspm)
  • Task Runners (gulp)

The Engineering Team
Love for technology runs in our veins. We try to adhere to the best practices of SCRUM (see our Tech Blog posts on our Agile Morphing). Like clockwork, we conduct daily stand-ups, sprint review / demo meetings, and retrospectives. We hate thrashing. We want to build things the right way. We conduct backlog grooming meetings, early project reviews, and blue-sky design sessions. We collaborate very closely with both the Product Management team and the internal users of our software.

We believe in empowering engineers to come up with solutions (not just implement them). At the end of every sprint, engineers demonstrate what they have built to the rest of the team, the Product Management team, and other department stakeholders. Every month we show off the key features we’ve built to the whole company. Our goal is to continue to innovate quickly while maintaining the highest levels of quality.

Local candidates only please – no relocation is available for this position.
