Global Technical Lead

What problems are more interesting to solve than making people click more ads? Plenty.

We at NRC have embarked on a massive, yet exhilarating, challenge to radically rethink how technology is put to the service of millions of people.

Join our new team of smart, hard-working individuals who accept the challenge and choose to shape a better tomorrow. Members of this team are extra special, just like you. They embrace diversity. They thrive in uncertainty. And they refuse to settle for mediocrity. We call them the D Team. We’re looking for makers, doers, those who act out of conviction not fear, those who don’t take no for an answer, and those who’d rather try and fail than embrace mediocrity.
