Engineering the verifiable network.
The roles open today, the process, the problems, and the working model, each stated truthfully. When nothing is open, this page says so and takes interest for later.
Remote by default · distributed team
What is open right now.
There are no published role openings at this time. Interest is still welcome: send a short note through the contact form (publisher route, with hiring as the first line) describing the kind of work you do, and it reaches the people who will hire when the role exists. Roles are published on this page with location or remote status as soon as they open.
The process, stated honestly.
Intro conversation
Thirty minutes about what you have built and what the team needs. No whiteboard in this step.
Practical exercise
A scoped exercise resembling the actual work, paid where it exceeds a half day. The exercise is discussed, not graded silently.
Team conversations
Meet the people you would work with, on the problems you would work on. Questions flow both ways.
Decision and offer
A written decision within days of the final conversation, with the reasoning shared either way.
What we work on
Auction engineering
Server-side decisioning at OpenRTB deadlines, with logged outcomes and enforcement that must keep pace with fraud.
CTV infrastructure
SSAI stitching integrations across TV platforms, pod economics, and beacon pipelines that survive television-scale delivery.
Transparency tooling
Crawlers, validators and reporting that make the network auditable, because trust claims are only as good as the tooling behind them.
Working model
Sky Boosts operates remotely, and the team works distributed by default. The arrangement is stated per role when roles open, rather than implied to be one thing for everyone.
Compensation approach
Pay is set against the scope of the role and shared in the first conversation for any published role, so neither side spends a month discovering a mismatch that one sentence would have prevented.
What a good note looks like
A short note with what you build, where it is running or published, and the kind of problem you want next. That is enough to route you to the right person and to surface your note when a matching role opens. Notes are kept on file and answered; they are not fed into anything automated.
What we look at
What you have shipped and operated, and how you talk about its failure modes. The interview process weighs production judgment over puzzle performance: most of the conversation is about systems you have run, the incidents you have debugged, and the documentation you left behind. Writing is part of the work here, because the platform's promise is that docs match behavior.
What the process feels like
From first conversation to decision, the process is measured in days per step, not weeks of silence: every step ends with what happens next and when. If we go quiet, chase us; a hiring process that ghosts candidates would contradict everything this site says about notices and response windows.
Honest hiring, like honest auctions.
No role matching your work today? A short note about what you build reaches the people who will hire.
