Does being involved in engineering a fundamental evolution of the Internet get you excited to go to work? Do you care about consumer’s privacy online and want to work to improve it? If so, IDPrivacy is seeking a front-end development engineer to build an exciting and high-performing user experience.

Consumer privacy is top of mind in today’s advertising industry. Regulators worldwide are now forcing browser and other platform vendors to build in consumer privacy from the ground up. Firefox was the first to move. Then Apple created their privacy-preserving ad serving platform. Now it is Google’s turn. Google is in the middle of deprecating 3rd-party tracking cookies, one of the main ways consumers are identified, found and advertised-to online. As a result, an entire reengineering of browsers and the advertising platforms that run on them is occurring. These changes to both the browser- and server- side are literally a major overhaul of the wiring of the entire Internet as we experience it today. 

IDPrivacy believes that consumer privacy is a right, not an option. We view the rewiring of AdTech platforms as an opportunity to look forward and create effective advertising platforms that are privacy-preserving from the get-go. At IDPrivacy, we are not beholden to the past. We don’t care how things have been done. What we are doing is looking to where online advertising will be five and even ten years from now, and designing for that future. Alan Kay, a well-known computer scientist, once famously said “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” That is exactly what we do.

As a front-end developer you will be responsible for the development and implementation of new user-facing features, ensuring the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs, and optimizing applications for maximum speed and scalability. You will collaborate closely with the design and backend development teams to create seamless and visually appealing interfaces. Your role will involve writing well-structured code, maintaining existing codebases, and staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies. But more importantly, you should constantly be thinking “how do I use or build an AI-based tool that can do the job more efficiently and more effectively so I can do more with less.”

To ensure success, you should have strong problem-solving skills, in-depth knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and a keen eye for detail. Top-class front-end developers are capable of translating complex requirements into functional and appealing interactive applications.
