A little bit about the team you’ll work with
The Distribution Partnerships Unit works on growing eyeo’s number of users by finding and collaborating with partners that help us scale our user base. Our partners include leading players in the browser and OEM markets. We collaborate closely with them to integrate ad-blocking technologies into their projects by maintaining and constantly improving the SDKs that make this integration easy. We add features and functionality based on their feedback, as well as new trends in the markets around us.
The Adblock Browser team helps internal teams improve and optimize the products they’re delivering to partners. Integrating our adblocking products in Adblock Browser generates interesting insights about the performance and mobile browsing user needs. On top of that, the team also develops new features based on user feedback and internal research.
When applying, please include a code sample or, preferably, references to open source projects you’ve worked on.
