Squaredance : uniting the digital advertising community - join us!

Squaredance is the only performance marketing solution that combines a full suite tracking and attribution platform with a partner marketplace and vibrant community! We enable ecommerce advertisers and digital marketing partners to discover, recruit, track and grow partnerships that drive customer acquisition in digital marketing channels.

We build analytics pipelines, recommendation engines, distributed systems, and killer frontends that have powered more than $500M in revenue over the past few years. Our team is small but mighty, and looking for a new addition who doesn’t shy away from challenges and has a relentless desire for self and team improvement. Everyone excels in different areas, and we’ll let you choose what those are for you – we only ask that you bring your best!

We believe the traditional network and agency approach is broken. The Squaredance platform and marketplace seamlessly connects brands, affiliates and partners to collaboratively build digital advertising campaigns under a commission-only model across many online channels. The Squaredance community means you are never alone and there is always new knowledge to be shared. Our value proposition provides a better alternative to traditional agencies, affiliate networks and affiliate program software: only pay for performance while having the flexibility to work in partnerships with specialized talent that cover all facets of digital advertising and adapt at the speed of change.
