About the Team:

Smartly proudly houses Render, responsible for a flagship part of Smartly's product offering, having an extensive impact on the company's ambitions for the future. Our customers rely on our creative production tooling to generate tens of millions of advertising creatives, and your future team will be placed in the center of all of this effort.

We are agnostic about technology and always aim to choose the best tools for the job. Our tools are built using React with TypeScript.

We use Webpack and GitHub Actions for our build and deployment pipeline.
