Advanced Ad Monetization Platform Development

Project: Build a Publisher Monetization Network (Web + App)
Overview

We are building a next-generation publisher monetization company.

Our mission is to become a full monetization partner for digital publishers by owning the technology, optimization systems, reporting, and revenue workflows.

This is not a simple SaaS dashboard.

This is infrastructure required to run:

demand integrations

header bidding

yield optimization

refresh & viewability logic

reporting & reconciliation

publisher payments

The goal is to operate a company comparable to Freestar, powered by Google Ad Manager and Prebid, but with stronger automation, transparency, and scalability.

What We Are Building

A centralized system where we can:

onboard publisher websites and apps

deploy monetization automatically

run Prebid auctions

connect to GAM / AdX

apply revenue share

give publishers real-time reporting

manage billing and payouts

control everything from a unified admin

Who We Want

Senior engineers with real experience in:

GAM trafficking and reporting

header bidding mechanics

bidder integrations

programmatic revenue logic

ad refresh and viewability

passbacks

discrepancies and reconciliation

If you have worked in ad networks, SSPs, exchanges, or yield optimization companies, you are a strong fit.
