Sales Engineer, Gist Ads

ABOUT THE ROLE

Gist, a ProRata brand, is redefining advertising for the AI era — building AI-powered, contextual ad experiences across premium digital media environments and emerging AI surfaces. Founded by Bill Gross, the inventor of pay-per-click advertising, ProRata brings unmatched credibility and conviction to the future of media monetization.

We're looking for a Solutions/Sales Engineer who is at home in a technical conversation — someone who can sit with a publisher's ad ops team, a AdTech solutions architect, or a platform engineer and go deep on implementation, troubleshoot in real time, and design integration approaches that actually work. Day-to-day, you'll be deeply embedded with Ads Engineering and BD, spending most of your time on partner integrations, ad ops collaboration, and technical solutioning — not in sales cycles.

This role reports to the CRO but operates primarily in the technical and partnership layer of the business. You'll be the connective tissue between Gist's internal engineering capabilities and the technical realities of our publisher, SSP/DSP, and platform partners — ensuring every integration is scoped correctly, implemented cleanly, and performing.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Partner Integrations & Ad Ops

• Own technical integrations end-to-end with publisher partners, SSPs, GAM, DSPs, and platform technology partners — from discovery and scoping through implementation and QA

• Lead technical working sessions with partner ad ops teams, solutions architects, and engineers to understand their infrastructure, tag architectures, and inventory configurations, then design integration approaches that fit their stack

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact during and after integration — triaging issues, coordinating with Gist's Ads Engineering team, and driving resolution

• Own implementation support for Gist's ad unit formats —AI-contextual formats — across web, app, and emerging AI environments

• Evaluate new tech partnership...
