What does Adthena do?
Adthena is the UK’s leading competitive intelligence solution for Google search advertisers. Our patent-pending technologies provide unparalleled accuracy for clients to understand their competitors’ keywords, budgets, spend, CPCs, Adcopy and more.
What do Adthena really do?
OK enough marketing talk. What do we really do?
We gather millions of search pages every day, flowing in at a rate of around 2500 pages a minute. A page is around 2-300Kb, so in one day we consume around 8-900Gb of HTML. We extract the data from these pages to produce around 80 million records of data every day.
We fetch data from other sources and then combine this together with all the previous days data (up to 1 year) to create meaningful and useful information for our clients.
We provide clients a web based tool that lets them analyse charts and download CSVs of data.
Clients use this data to save money; analyse gaps in the market; analyse what their competitors are doing; prove they are doing their jobs well; prove they need more budget; show how they can reduce budget. Clients use our tools in a variety of ways and we are continually thinking up new and different things we can develop to provide even more.
How do we do it?
We employ smart people. The biggest asset we have at Adthena is our smart people who are able to find solutions to difficult problems. We use whichever technology is best for the job, which is often something new and exciting. We encourage our people to continually find better ways of doing things.
The Job
We're looking for a full stack, senior developer to join our team who is experienced in building large scale applications in Java or .Net, and with exposure to at least one scripting language such as Ruby or Python. We do our own devops across
We use Redis, Cassandra, Storm, Node.js, AWS, Redshift, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, SQL Server, Ansible, and more.
We're open to your ideas to solve problems faster and better. We're not building "anotherwebsite.com", we're using technology to analyse masses of data and pinpoint solutions to tricky client problems specifically for search engine advertisers think all the big companies on Google.
You'll be working on our core service already used by some of the worlds biggest brands. You'll be helping us extend our product features in conjunction with product management. Get to know our patent pending technologies and help extend them, scale them, beautify them. We are a small and very busy dev team that works closely together but you also need to be able to work autonomously and take ownership of projects.
In return we'll pay you well, give you some ownership in the company (stock options), feed you and importantly let you setup your work environment with whatever technology you want. Oh, and we’ll give you a new pair of Adidas trainers when you join.
