Global ad-tech platform connecting premium inventory, audiences, and outcomes
Equativ operates a full-stack media platform spanning ad serving, DSP, and publisher tools across display, video, and mobile channels. The stack reveals a modern, cloud-native backend (GCP, Kubernetes, .NET/Node.js, ClickHouse) paired with early-stage ML adoption (PyTorch, TensorFlow, first deep-learning algorithms). Active migration work—moving from Sharethrough to their own platform, implementing dbt, and shifting to Snowflake—shows infrastructure modernization across data and ad-serving layers. Sales-heavy hiring (20 open roles) alongside integration of acquired entities points to growth-through-acquisition strategy.
