  6. Editor’s note

    What to look for in an adtech startup

    Adtech companies range from early-stage teams still finding product-market fit to publicly traded platforms processing billions of ad auctions daily. The stage of the company shapes nearly everything about the role: the pace, the scope of your work, and how your compensation is structured. Before accepting an offer, it is worth understanding whether the company's revenue model is built on durable infrastructure or dependent on a few large clients or a single channel.

    Revenue Model Clarity

    Understand whether the company earns from self-serve platform fees, managed services, or media margin. Platform-driven revenue tends to scale more predictably and signals a more stable engineering and product investment cycle.

    Data and Privacy Roadmap

    Third-party cookie deprecation and evolving privacy regulations are reshaping how adtech companies target and measure audiences. Ask specifically how the company's product strategy accounts for a cookieless environment.

    Team Structure and Ownership

    Early-stage adtech roles often combine responsibilities across product, data, and client work. Confirm whether the role has clear ownership or whether scope is still being defined, as that affects growth trajectory significantly.

How adtech startups pay and equity work

Compensation at adtech startups follows the broader software industry pattern, where base salary, equity, and bonus are all part of the package, but their relative weight shifts considerably with company stage. Later-stage and publicly traded adtech companies tend to pay base salaries close to what large enterprise tech employers offer, with equity delivered as restricted stock units that vest on a predictable schedule. Earlier-stage companies typically offer lower base salaries in exchange for option grants that carry more upside potential and more uncertainty. The day-to-day trade-off at a growth-stage adtech company is a meaningful one. Roles tend to carry broader scope than equivalent positions at larger organizations, which means faster skill development but also less specialization early on. Engineering teams at adtech companies often work on high-throughput, latency-sensitive systems, while go-to-market roles involve navigating clients with sophisticated measurement requirements. The work rewards people who are comfortable with ambiguity, interested in the intersection of data and media, and willing to grow into their responsibilities rather than slot into a fully defined function.

Adtech Startups: Frequently Asked Questions

Which adtech startups are hiring the most right now?

Klaviyo is hiring the most, with 70 open roles on Migrate Mate as of August 31, 2026, followed by The Trade Desk (30) and Viant Technology (13). Migrate Mate tracks 162 live roles across 9 adtech startups in total, updated daily, so the order shifts as companies open and close positions.

Do adtech startups pay well compared to larger tech companies?

Generally, yes. Growth-stage adtech companies are typically competitive with large tech employers on base salary, particularly at the senior individual contributor and management levels. The meaningful difference is in how total compensation is structured: more of the package sits in equity rather than cash, especially at pre-IPO companies. Later-stage adtech firms closely match market cash rates, while earlier-stage companies trade a lower base for larger option grants with longer-term upside potential.

What kinds of roles do adtech startups typically hire for?

Adtech startups hire most heavily in software engineering, product management, and business operations. Across the 9 adtech startups Migrate Mate tracks, software engineering is the largest function at 25 of 162 open roles as of August 31, 2026, followed by product management (20) and business operations (7).

Do adtech startups hire remotely?

It depends on the company and the function. Of the roles Migrate Mate tracks across these 9 adtech startups, 21% are remote or hybrid as of August 31, 2026. Remote availability varies by team and role, so each Migrate Mate listing shows its work location before you apply.
