Mobile advertising DSP with real-time bidding and creative optimization
Smadex operates a demand-side platform for mobile, CTV, and web advertising, built on Python, Java, Scala, and AWS infrastructure with heavy reliance on SQL for audience and campaign data. The company is actively migrating its codebase from Java to Kotlin while adopting LangChain and AWS Bedrock — a signal of investment in AI-driven creative and performance optimization. Hiring momentum is accelerating across marketing (15 open roles) and engineering (10), with notable pain around creative bottlenecks and model performance, suggesting the platform's next frontier is automating creative workflows and campaign tuning.
