Software Engineer – Samsung Ads

About Samsung Ads

Over the last few years, Samsung has been investing in building up a portfolio of engaging services across its devices to complement its market-leading hardware business while leveraging its unparalleled global distribution footprint. These services, along with a vast partner network and proprietary data, generate a massive opportunity for ad-based monetization.

Samsung Ads is a fast-growing advertising technology business powering experiences across one of the world's largest connected device ecosystems – spanning Smart TVs, mobile, desktop, and beyond. We reach 3 in 4 U.S. households, giving us unmatched visibility into how consumers discover and engage with content across screens. With the industry's most comprehensive first-party data and world-class technology, we help brands connect with audiences at massive scale – building one of the most intelligent and effective advertising platforms in the world.

About the team

The Ad Experience team builds the products that greet every Samsung user the moment they turn on their TV – including Samsung's home screen and the TV Plus app. Our work ships to hundreds of millions of devices worldwide.

We build Smart TV applications on the Samsung Tizen platform, where performance isn't optional. These apps run on web-based runtimes with tight memory budgets, constrained CPUs, and hardware that spans a wide range of model years and price points. Thriving here means understanding those constraints deeply and building software that's fast, resilient, and consistent across the entire device ecosystem.

Engineers on this team own features end-to-end – from the OS platform layer through the TV UI to cloud integration with DSPs and Ad Exchange. We move fast, hold a high bar, and work closely with product, design, and cross-functional engineering partners to ship ambitious ideas at scale.
