## About Assertive Yield

Assertive Yield is a fast-growing optimization platform empowering publishers and SSPs to drive more revenue through intelligent auction dynamics, traffic shaping, analytics, and real-time decisioning.

## What you’ll do

As Technical Product Manager for our core yield platform, you will own the end-to-end product logic that drives publisher profitability, from server-side auction dynamics to real-time yield analytics. In this role, you will:

### Responsibilities

* **Drive Technical Execution:** Partner directly with machine learning, backend engineering, and CS teams to turn complex issues into simple features, giving global publishers intelligent, automated control over every ad impression. * Scope precise technical requirements, create clear system specifications, and transform real-world publisher monetization pain points into scalable product capabilities. * Innovate & Lead: Deeply understand the AdTech industry, perform continuous market and competitive research, and proactively bring forward new product ideas that keep our platform at the forefront.

**Reporting & Stakeholder Relations**

* **Direct Report:** Reports directly to the **VP of Product**. * Collaborate daily with **Engineering/R&D**, **Solutions Engineering**, **Customer Success**, and **Account Management** to align technical capabilities with product strategy and client delivery. * When needed, join calls with clients.

## Minimum requirements

* **Experience:** 3+ years as a Technical PM, Product Manager, or Solutions Engineer in AdTech (SSP, Header Bidding, Ad Exchange, or Publisher Monetization Platform). * Deep understanding of the OpenRTB protocol, Prebid (JS & Server), Google Ad Manager, header bidding wrappers, and bidder/seller auction mechanics. * **Full-Stack Technical Understanding:** Comprehensive architectural understanding of web applications from client-side tags to backend auctions. Ability to read, inspect, and debug full-stack integration workflows (e.g., verifying browser network requests, inspecting ad tag execution, and tracing server-side responses). Writing production code is a nice-to-have, but the ability to audit and troubleshoot full-stack integrations is required. * Ability to communicate technical decisions to non-technical teams and interface directly with enterprise client technical leads. * **Working Hours:** Flexibility to cover European working hours (EU) with partial overlap for US West Coast schedules. * **Travel:** Willingness to travel to 1–2 key industry events or conferences per year.
