TV measurement and advertising platform built on automatic content recognition

Technology, Information and Internet San Francisco, California 201–500 employees Founded 2008 Privately Held

Samba TV embeds measurement and discovery software into connected TVs and streaming devices, capturing what viewers watch across fragmented platforms. The tech stack—Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, Apache Airflow, PySpark—reveals a data-engineering-first operation; recent adoption of Great Expectations and Databricks Unity Catalog signals active modernization of data governance and validation pipelines. Hiring is sales-driven (23 open roles) paired with substantial data and product teams (17 and 13 respectively), indicating expansion into new markets and client workflows rather than core product overhaul.
