Senior JavaScript Engineer (m/f/d) – Focus on Web Performance & SDK

Introduction

The Mission

We are an established, profitable company in the privacy and adtech space - helping publishers and media houses across Europe offer cross-publisher monetization models. Our technology powers multiple billion page impressions every month, and we’re scaling fast into new markets. We combine the best of both worlds: the stability of a profitable business and the agility and ownership mindset of a startup. Every team member has a visible impact and we encourage you to shape not just our products but also our culture.

About us

At Content Pass, we pursue a clear mission: We preserve quality journalism by offering a fair and sustainable alternative to the attention-driven advertising industry. Our product provides millions of people with ad- and tracking-free access to currently over 700 renowned websites.

With several million daily users and billions of page views per month, we are deeply integrated into our publishers' digital ecosystems. We are looking for a key player to elevate our core product – our SDK – to the next level of performance.

What You'll Do

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take ownership of our SDK - the core component integrated into partner websites. This SDK manages communication with CMPs (Consent Management Platforms) and our stack, ensuring privacy compliance, performance, and reliability at scale. You’ll be responsible for evolving the SDK into a high-performance, secure, and extensible framework that can:

• Integrate with additional CMPs
• Unlock access to premium content models
• Potentially detect and block 3rd-party requests, ads, and trackers
• Own the design, development, and evolution of our web SDK used across publisher integrations.
• Ensure high performance, reliability and scalability for billions of monthly impressions.
• Work closely with the whole engineering and product teams to extend SDK functionality for new CMPs and features.
• Debug complex browser and integration issues across different environments.
• Champion best practices for security, maintainability and developer experience.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineers and stakeholders to ship improvements quickly.

Your profile

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of web performance, browser internals, and privacy technology - someone who takes pride in writing elegant, efficient, and secure TypeScript code.
