What you'll be doing- Architect & Design: Set the technical direction for Offer Delivery, owning the architecture of its services and leading design on its most critical initiatives.
- Build & Ship: Build, test, and ship the Golang and Java services that decide which offer each player sees, across real-time bidding into display auctions (OpenRTB) and direct placement outside the auction flow.
- Evolve the Recommender: Work with the ML modeling team to take ranking improvements from idea to production, covering feature retrieval, scoring data, model serving integration, and online experiments.
- Lead Across Teams: Offer Delivery sits between the auction, ML, platform, and product teams. Align them on shared decisions and drive delivery across team boundaries.
- Operate at Scale: Ensure the high availability and reliability of our production services, including on-call rotations and proactive system monitoring.
- Raise the Bar: Mentor engineers, set engineering standards, and lead by example on code and design quality.
What we're looking for- Technical Leadership: Track record of owning a significant backend system, setting direction, making the architectural calls, and getting it delivered through others as well as yourself.
- High-scale distributed systems: Demonstrated ability to design and ship large-scale, highly available, latency-sensitive distributed services with complex business logic.
- Core Technologies: Strong proficiency in backend development using Go or Java (or clear ability to become effective in Go quickly). Working knowledge of gRPC with a willingness to adapt to the best tool for the job.
- Observability & Data Streaming: Practical experience with observability platforms (logging, metrics, monitoring/tracing) and message bus technologies for managing complex data streams.
- Integration Design: Track record of building new systems amid rapidly shifting requirements. You can design systems that are stable through three requirement changes, and you know which change should revise the core data flow.
- Cross-team influence & mentorship: Experience driving technical work across team boundaries and developing the engineers around you.
You might also have- Experience building recommender systems, marketplace matching, or ads ranking systems in production.
- Experience building or operating a DSP, ad exchange, or real-time bidding system, with familiarity with OpenRTB, auction mechanics, or programmatic advertising.
- Working understanding of supply-side ad mediation, such as waterfall vs. bidding and adapter and SDK integratio
