We build large scale, high velocity distributed systems to service 100's of millions of API requests per day, steam data at PB scale, process business logic on tight latency budgets, all while streaming and the data at high fidelity to 20+ other services to perform other critical advertising functions. We stand up world class CI/CD pipelines to deploy our service automating infrastructure provisioning, high volume load testing and first-rate monitoring so our engineers can keep their heads down inventing for our advertisers.

You'll create feedback loops to ensure our solutions are constantly evaluating themselves and improving.

- Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) server infrastructure-an emerging standard for AI agent-data interaction-that delivers advertiser context with sub-second latency and minimal token consumption
