As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design, develop, test, and maintain software solutions for Viant's Demand Side Platform, collaborating with various teams to solve complex issues while considering long-term goals.
WHAT YOU’LL DO

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
