We’re building the future of Digital Out of Home (DOOH) advertising. Not the watered-down “future”, the actual, data-fuelled, real-time, screens-in-train-stations kind of future.
At Bauer Media Outdoor, we own and operate 33,000+ advertising sites across the UK. Millions see our screens every day. Now imagine those screens responding dynamically to weather, location, audience, time of day, live events, inventory, data triggers… that’s the magic of DCO.
And that’s where you come in.
We're launching a brand-new Dynamic Creative Optimisation (DCO) engineering function, and we need a Lead Software Engineer to build it, shape it, and set the standard for it.
No small pressure. Maximum impact.
About the role
This isn’t just another tech lead job. This is a blank canvas.
You’ll lead a talented team (currently two engineers), define the architecture, build the frameworks, write the standards, get hands-on with code, and partner directly with product, ad-tech platforms, creative agencies, and global brands.
Expect a mix of:
You’ll be the person who turns “Can we make the ad change when it starts raining?” into “Yes, here’s how we deploy it across 5000 screens before lunch.”
What you’ll be doing
Design & Build
Technical Leadership
Standards & Enablement
Campaign Delivery & Support
