About Gumball Digital
Gumball Digital is a performance marketing company that builds and operates consumer-focused digital brands connecting millions of people each year with products, services, and offers that matter to them. Through brands like Benefinds, ActiveTrials, and Homebase, we combine proprietary technology, data, and marketing expertise to create high-performing customer acquisition platforms.
We’re intentionally small, profitable, and highly technical. We don’t have layers of management or long approval chains. We move quickly, solve real problems, and give talented people the autonomy to make meaningful decisions that directly impact the business.
Our team values ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement. We care about building systems that are fast, reliable, and scalable, while creating an environment where great ideas can come from anyone. If you enjoy wearing multiple hats, taking responsibility for important systems, and seeing your work make an immediate difference, you’ll fit right in.

Why This Role Is Different
This isn’t a ticket-taking engineering job. You’ll own a real production platform that generates revenue every day. You’ll have the freedom to make architectural decisions, improve reliability, and build new capabilities without navigating layers of management.
The scope is similar to what many engineers only experience as a technical founder, but with the stability of an established, profitable business.
If you’re looking for ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to build systems that have an immediate business impact, we’d love to talk.
