Agentic audience platform for publishers replacing fragmented ad-tech stacks
Optable builds an AI-driven audience platform purpose-built for publishers to consolidate identity, audience activation, and ad sales—replacing separate DMPs, CDPs, and identity vendors with a single system. The product is anchored in Go + Kubernetes infrastructure (GCP/AWS) with streaming pub/sub patterns (Cloud Pub/Sub, Bigtable), signaling an engineering org optimized for real-time audience synthesis and deal coordination. Founding membership in Ad Context Protocol and leadership of Prebid.org's Agentic PMC positions the company at the center of emerging AI-buyer-to-publisher workflows.
Optable is a Montreal-based audience platform for publishers and media companies, founded in 2020. The platform consolidates the traditional ad-tech stack—DMPs, CDPs, identity resolution, and clean-room tools—into a single modular system that reduces total cost of ownership. Optable serves publishers representing 25,000+ domains and $3B+ in annual ad spend. Core capabilities include an Audience Agent that synthesizes new audiences from natural-language RFP briefs and activates them to DSPs and ad servers within minutes, plus a Sales Agent that processes inbound AI-buyer requests and coordinates deal execution. The company operates a private identity graph owned by publishers and is building an Agentic Collaboration Marketplace aligned with open advertising protocols.
Optable runs on GCP and AWS with Kubernetes orchestration, Go microservices, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and streaming via Cloud Pub/Sub. Frontend uses React and TypeScript; infrastructure tooling includes Terraform, Helm, Prometheus, and Grafana.
Optable is headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Current hiring is concentrated in Canada across product, engineering, marketing, sales, and support roles.
Active projects include identity feature development, audience building and activation pipelines, privacy compliance, a design system, and transitioning design and creative workflows to in-house operations via Webflow.
