DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpotXchange, Inc., the largest global marketplace of digital video ad inventory, today announced it plans to hire 50 engineers in the greater Denver area to support continued product innovation. The company plans to more than double its engineering staff and is looking to fill a number of full-time positions including software and web application developers, software test engineers and data scientists.
SpotXchange is among the fastest-growing private companies in the exploding digital video advertising industry, working to drive cutting-edge advancements as it relates to the programmatic buying and selling of digital video. SpotXchange is headquartered in Westminster, Colorado (halfway between Denver and Boulder), and boasts international reach with offices in Europe and Asia. The company is unique in that it exports its video advertising services to over 50 countries, bringing that revenue back to Colorado each year.
SpotXchange has been recognized as a Colorado Company to Watch, and was listed by the Denver Post as one of the top places to work for the second year in a row. Additionally, CEO Mike Shehan and COO and CFO Steve Swoboda were named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2013 Award winners. The company offers engineers the opportunity to solve real-world technology challenges in the rapidly growing digital video advertising industry against a relaxed Colorado backdrop. For example, recently SpotXchange engineers developed SkipIt, a new online video ad-skipping technology for consumers that balances control/flexibility levers between publishers, advertisers and consumers, helping to reduce high-abandonment rates in digital video. Nearly 5 billion invites to skip video ads have been sent to tens of thousands of SkipIt members over the past year.
SpotXchange also mandates a positive work-life balance for its team members, and offers a number of benefits including:
- Unlimited paid time off
- Fun, friendly work environment

We look forward to hiring additional engineers this year to help us continue to create and deliver innovative ad buying technologies to expand and grow the overall video advertising industry.”
