Vibrant Media specializes in delivering contextual internet advertising–most notably in-text (via the famous by now IntelliTXT solution). Their portfolio,which includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned projects,is mostly based on their contextual engine–which analyzes web pages on the fly and falls under very strict restrictions in terms of response time in order to provide a good user experience.Their platform is a Java-based one and spread out across quite a few hundreds of servers. The entire infrastructure (libraries etc) has been written in-house using low-level/core Java (J2SE) libraries due to the speed and scalability requirements using highly-optimized algorithms.
Daily attributions included but were not limited to architecturing parts of the system, managing and mentoring junior developers and/or new hires, release process management, evaluating technologies / frameworks that would improve Vibrant’s platform(s) and assisting with the due diligence processes.
