In this role you will design and deliver campaign forecasting and recommendation services that process petabyte-scale data, power real-time advertiser decisions, and directly influence how advertising budgets are planned and optimized.

You will write production code in Java, Scala, Python, and TypeScript, build and operate large-scale data pipelines and indexing infrastructure on AWS, and collaborate with applied scientists to turn forecasting models into reliable, performant services. A major focus ahead is scaling the platform for high-throughput agentic workloads and applying AI to accelerate software upgrades and reduce operational recovery times. If you enjoy working across the full software lifecycle and want your work to have a measurable impact on a business growing at 26% year over year, this is a compelling time to join.

Key job responsibilities

- Design and implement scalable APIs and microservices that serve real-time forecasting and recommendation results to advertising customers, with a near-term focus on scaling throughput for agentic workloads

- Build and maintain backend data pipelines on EMR, Spark, and S3 that process petabyte-scale datasets, generate search indexes, and keep daily data fresh and accurate

- Collaborate with applied scientists and product teams to translate time-series forecasting models and supply-demand algorithms into production-ready, well-tested systems

- Apply AI-driven approaches to accelerate platform upgrades, reduce tech debt, and lower mean time to resolution for operational issues

- Mentor engineers on your team through code reviews and design discussions, contribute to technical roadmaps, and document systems so they can be maintained and extended by others

A day in the life

Your time splits between proactive, roadmap-driven feature work and hands-on operational responsibilities. In a typical week you might spend mornings writing and reviewing code - building a new forecasting endpoint or tuning a Spark indexing job - then shift to monitoring deployment pipelines, investigating a data-quality anomaly, or reviewing dashboards for latency and forecast accuracy. You will regularly join design reviews and cross-team syncs with product, UX, and science partners. The role operates with significant autonomy: you own your features end to end, but you are never working in isolation - peer reviews, on-call collaboration, and mentoring newer engineers are woven into the rhythm of the week.
