App­Nexus focus­es on cus­tomiz­able adver­tis­ing tech­nol­o­gy plat­forms and more than bil­lions of ads are clicked each day through their net­work. App­Nexus has raised more than $65 mil­lion in fund­ing and had slight­ly under $20 mil­lion in rev­enue in 2011. This year, their rev­enue is expect­ed to be between $40 mil­lion and $50 mil­lion. This makes App­Nexus a larg­er than aver­age com­pa­ny, which means it might be a good place to look for a job, espe­cial­ly if you’re inter­est­ed in online advertising.

The com­pa­ny has raised sig­nif­i­cant fund­ing through­out its his­to­ry start­ing with $2.5 mil­lion of fund­ing from angel investors in Decem­ber 2007, $8M in series B fund­ing in Sep­tem­ber 2008, $5M more in Novem­ber 2009 and $50M in Series C fund­ing in Octo­ber of 2010. This fund­ing has allowed the com­pa­ny to grow and pro­vide job opportunities.

Some of the jobs that are open at App­Nexus include soft­ware engi­neers, senior soft­ware engi­neer, sys­tem admin­is­tra­tion, account direc­tors (sales/account man­age­ment) and a strate­gic part­ner man­ag­er. The human resources depart­ment and the busi­ness oper­a­tions depart­ment are also look­ing to hire. The com­pa­ny can be clas­si­fied as an adver­tis­ing tech startup.

Their adver­tis­ing net­work includes advanced yield man­age­ment con­trols, opti­miza­tion algo­rithms and patent­ed brand and safe­ty mon­i­tor­ing. This is sim­i­lar to the real-time bid­ding sys­tem that Google uses.

The com­pa­ny has many tal­ent­ed indi­vid­u­als on their team such as Lau­ren Nemeth from Google who joined the com­pa­ny as Direc­tor of Sales. If you are look­ing for a job with well-respect­ed indi­vid­u­als, then you might con­sid­er apply­ing to work with AppNexus.

The com­pa­ny is look­ing for indi­vid­u­als who thrive on chal­lenges and that are focused and proac­tive. The com­pa­ny wants the bright­est minds in online adver­tis­ing and hopes to solve large engi­neer­ing and busi­ness chal­lenges. The com­pa­ny is backed by Microsoft and is plan­ning an IPO for 2012.

Work­ing in online adver­tis­ing can be reward­ing if you like to com­mu­ni­cate with images or sim­ply have a gen­er­al inter­est in the online adver­tis­ing indus­try. Online adver­tis­ing is an enor­mous indus­try and is how pub­lish­ers make a prof­it by pub­lish­ing con­tent. Many e‑commerce web­sites such as Ama­zon and oth­er retail­ers also attract cus­tomers to their web­site with online advertising.

Accord­ing to eMar­keter, spend­ing on online adver­tis­ing will exceed the amount spent on print adver­tis­ing for the first time. Online adver­tis­ers will spend more than $77 bil­lion online by 2016 show­ing that the online adver­tis­ing indus­try is grow­ing. This means that if you do end up with a job at App­Nexus then you can be con­fi­dent that the com­pa­ny will be here to stay for years to come.
