Life as an Ezoic engineer:
Ezoic is an inaugural member of the Google Certified Publishing Partner Program. This means we work closely with Google to help websites optimize their ad revenue. We actually have won awards directly from Google for the artificial intelligence that we’ve built. Cool, right?!?
Ezoic is a technology-first company. Our CEO is a developer by trade, and our engineers are given all the tools needed to succeed. We empower our engineers to make a lot of their own decisions about both design and implementation and encourage them to come up with new ideas to improve the application. We also aim to keep a good work-life balance, based on our philosophy that happy engineers are more productive. We accomplish this via flexible schedules and unlimited time off. We want you to be working on something that you are passionate about and allow engineers to move around to keep things fresh.
We have a new office in Carlsbad, CA, which is currently open to employees who wish to work in the office, and there are no covid requirements. We allow engineers to work from home regularly if they can be more productive there and are open to fully remote for the right candidates.
Benefits:
Every engineer works at their own quad-monitor set up on a standing desk. We pride ourselves on getting stuff done, but when you need a break, Ezoic offers great perks, including catered lunches, snacks, flexible hours, ping pong, video games, and a pool table. Paired with our unlimited PTO policy, we encourage individual volunteerism and offer company-wide volunteer opportunities.
Ezoic also has a Mentor Program, and we match you with someone more senior than you to go to for technical advice and help set you up for success in your new role. Other benefits include a 401(K) matching plan, great health insurance, parental and maternity benefits, yoga classes, and stock options!
