👫 About the team

At Equativ, we’re on a mission to develop advertising technologies that empower our customers to reach their digital business goals.

Our innovation team based in Paris, Nantes, Limoges, Krakow and Berlin is composed of 90 straightforward and energetic engineers working in an Agile environment and ready to tackle the most complex technical challenges.

Your work will impact all other backend and infrastructure teams by providing innovative ways to perf-tune, deploy and scale our applications. Along with this strong production orientation, Core Backend is also responsible for the implementation of various transverse technical projects such as architecture transformations, integration with machine learning models, state of the art monitoring based on OpenTelemetry, or code quality improvements.
