About Acast Since 2014, Acast has been building the world’s most valuable podcast marketplace, creating the technology that connects podcast creators, advertisers, and listeners. Its marketplace spans more than 140,000 podcasts, 3,300 advertisers, and one billion quarterly listens. Crucially, those listens are monetized wherever they happen—across any podcast app or listening platform. About the role In just a few seconds, Acast’s Dynamic Ad Insertion platform dynamically sources, selects, and splices ads into uniquely personalised streams for millions of listens every day, all while optimising towards the best possible return for the creator, advertiser, and of course the listener themselves. As a Software Engineer in Delivery, you’ll be working in the team that owns Acast’s audience indexing and contextual targeting capabilities to ensure the right ad gets served to the right audience, on the right podcast. You’ll also work on Ad Manager, our internal campaign booking system, where sales and operations teams plan campaigns, configure targeting, and manage flights and creatives end to end. That means building and improving the tools that turn audience and content signals into bookable inventory — from how campaigns are set up and targeted, to how they stay in sync with delivery and reporting downstream. Your daily responsibilities are centered around development of our ad manager and targeting capabilities. You will collaborate with a team of data and software engineers, an Engineering Manager and a Product Manager, to plan and execute on innovative solutions that have a significant impact on our business. What you'll do You will work in an experienced team that is distributed across Europe. In collaboration with your team you will maintain and develop targeting capabilities, while also communicating and collaborating with peer teams and both internal and external stakeholders. While the campaign booking system is the team's primary focus, you’ll also be working on our audience indexing and targeting capabilities . The team owns critical services as part of Acast’s Ad Delivery pipeline , and you will be expected to join the rotation providing 24 hour on-call support for this. Who you are We believe you are a software engineer who’s early in their career, with a focus on front-end development but have an interest for the full stack. You enjoy solving problems and seek to understand the business needs around the things you build and support. You’re able to work alone or as a pair, and believe direct collaboration is the best way to solve problems. You believe AI is here to accelerate us and use it in your day-to-day work. You are creatively solving problems using Node, TypeScript and React, or similar. You are comfortable with or willing to learn AWS and understand the value of healthy CI/CD pipelines. Location Most of our teams are hybrids with some members co-located in offices and some working fully remote. With a remote first way of working we want you to feel productive regardless of work location. For this role, you can be based in the UK or Sweden. We have offices in London and Stockholm but it is optional if you want to work remote or at the office. Culture Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin or any of the other wonderful characteristics that make us different. Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy, continuous improvement and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we strive for an open, inclusive and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome. We consider ourselves a modern organization driven by strong values to create the best, most fulfilling and nurturing culture. We very much look forward to finding the next great person to join our cause!
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
