Marcus Richard is a Manager, Software Engineering at Magnite at Magnite. Colleagues describe him as "Marcus is without a doubt a top-class professional of his craft. When it comes to discussing some issue, he never uses any sophistry and always has specific well-reasoned proposals. Marcus is in no circumstances afraid of taking responsibility for the consequences of the proposed solution – this ingredient of character (indispensable for any good manager) is extremely rare, which makes it thereby an asset to him. He is one of the few who knows perfectly not only his set of services which he is responsible for but also those of other teams as well. Marcus not just keeps in mind how all his code works (as a lot of engineers normally do) but has and keeps up-to-date the well-detailed tech specs for that. Thus, he can help with advice to the members of adjacent teams. Moreover, his eagle-eyed criticism allows him to point out the defects of a solution and therefore avoid the eventual time and money losses, which makes the usage of the company resources available more effective. I hope some day I’ll have a chance to work with Marcus again, which will be a pleasure to me." and "It was a great experience working with Marcus over the last couple of years at Rubicon Project. His diligence in leading projects from scratch to finish successfully, collaboration with all the stakeholders to ensure all aspects are well thought of and the willingness in taking on more responsibilities makes him a distinguished engineer in this field. Along with having sound technical skills in his area of expertise, he is also very honest in expressing his thoughts if there were gaps or any scope for improvement in a project showing how much he cares for the products. In my team, it was nice to see him collaborate so well with the tester to keep up the test coverage on products built, additionally taking on testing tasks wherever needed due to time or resource crunch for building a high quality product. I am sure Marcus would be a great asset to have on any team and I wish him all the best in his career."
