Full-Stack Engineer at Thrad — AI-native advertising infrastructure
Thrad is building the ad exchange for the AI era, and they need a scrappy Full-Stack Engineer to help lead the charge. Already serving millions of ads daily for Fortune 500 giants like Binance and TripAdvisor, this pre-seed startup is creating the infrastructure for native ads inside LLM conversations. Working directly with a high-caliber founding team of ML PhDs and experts, you'll own features end-to-end across a modern stack of FastAPI, React, and ClickHouse. If you want to ship code that defines a new category of technology while enjoying meaningful equity at the intersection of AI and Adtech, this is your seat on the rocket ship.
