By Jodi Lakatos in Life at OpenX|January 15, 2026

Our continued focus on building a people-first, remote-friendly workplace has earned OpenX repeat recognition in Built In’s Best Places to Work awards for the third consecutive year. As we continue to scale and grow globally, we’re proud to be recognized with this honor year after year.

Built In is a leading tech careers platform that connects job seekers with innovative companies and evaluates workplaces using a data-driven methodology focused on total rewards and employee experience.

How OpenX built a transformative culture that lasts

As an intelligent, independent supply-side platform (SSP), OpenX has become a leading destination for professionals seeking remote tech jobs and rewarding careers in programmatic advertising. That’s no accident. It’s the product of clear values, deliberate choices, and a deep commitment to making media work better for the people who run it and the people who experience it.

The same principles that guide how we operate in the market also shape how we show up for our people. It starts with a culture designed to evolve with employee needs while remaining rooted in flexibility, wellbeing, and inclusion. Below are just a few of the ways we support our global team:

  • Remote-first by design. Our work model isn’t adapted for remote work; it’s built around it. Employees work from approved remote locations and receive a new hire home office stipend to support productive, comfortable workspaces.

  • Time off that’s encouraged, not just offered. Generous PTO programs are  backed by a culture that actively supports taking time away throughout the year and provides meaningful opportunities to disconnect and recharge.

  • Benefits from day one. Benefits begin on your first day, including many 100% employer-paid benefits. Employees also receive a robust total rewards package and a wellbeing stipend to support physical and mental health.

  • Support for growing families. Extended parental leave for both maternal and paternal caregivers reflects our belief that building a family deserves time, flexibility, and support.

  • A culture aligned with responsibility and impact. Through initiatives like OpenX Cares, employees can give back to causes that strengthen local communities, reinforcing our commitment to responsibility both inside and outside the open web ecosystem.

We’re also proud to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace supported by employee-led Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), including OutX, which creates a safe space for queer and allied employees, and Women in Tech (WIT), which promotes career growth through mentorship, inspiration, and connection. Together with other ERGs, such as Nexus, these groups empower employees to grow, collaborate, and thrive.

This third year of Built In recognition validates what we’ve long believed: Exceptional workplace culture fuels business innovation. From our offices in major U.S. tech hubs to our global team working across the world, OpenX remains committed to one principle: When we invest in our people, everyone wins.
