Technical product manager

Assertive Yield is a fast-growing optimization platform empowering publishers and SSPs to drive more revenue through intelligent auction dynamics, traffic shaping, analytics, and real-time decisioning.

What You’ll Do

As Technical Product Manager for our core yield platform, you will own the end-to-end product logic that drives publisher profitability—from server-side auction dynamics to real-time yield analytics. In this role, you will:

• Drive Technical Execution: Partner directly with machine learning, backend engineering, and CS teams to turn complex issues into simple features, giving global publishers intelligent, automated control over every ad impression. Scope precise technical requirements, create clear system specifications, and transform real-world publisher monetization pain points into scalable product capabilities.
• Innovate & Lead: Deeply understand the AdTech industry, perform continuous market and competitive research, and proactively bring forward new product ideas that keep our platform at the forefront.
• Reporting & Stakeholder Relations: Direct Report: Reports directly to the VP of Product. Collaborate daily with Engineering/R&D, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Account Management to align technical capabilities with product strategy and client delivery. When needed, join calls with clients.

Minimum Requirements

Experience: 3+ years as a Technical PM, Product Manager, or Solutions Engineer in AdTech (SSP, Header Bidding, Ad Exchange, or Publisher Monetization Platform). Deep understanding of the OpenRTB protocol, Prebid (JS & Server), Google Ad Manager, header bidding wrappers, and bidder/seller auction mechanics.

Full-Stack Technical Understanding: Comprehensive architectural understanding of web applications from client-side tags to backend auctions. Ability to read, inspect, and debug full-stack integration workflows (e.g., verifying browser network requests, inspecting ad tag execution, and tracing server-side responses). Writing production code is a nice-to-have, but the ability to audit and troubleshoot full-stack integrations is required. Ability to communicate technical decisions to non-technical teams and interface directly with enterprise client technical leads.

Working Hours: Flexibility to cover European working hours (EU) with partial overlap for US West Coast schedules.

Travel: Willingness to travel to 1–2 key industry events or conferences per year.

Nice to Have

AdTech Background: Prior experience as a Software Engineer or Solutions Engineer, or Data Engineer in AdTech prior to transitioning into Product Management.
