Full Job Description
Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of software development experience in C or TypeScript/JavaScript.
3 years of experience with full stack development, across back-end such as Java, Python, Golang, C or equivalent codebases, and front-end experience including JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS or equivalent.
3 years of experience in a technical leadership role; overseeing projects.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience spanning both high-throughput backend serving architectures in C (low-latency RPC services, caching) and modern web platform internals in TypeScript/JavaScript (browser security/privacy models, cross-origin iframes, HTTP/edge routing, emerging browser standards such as shared compression dictionaries)
Experience with online controlled experimentation (A/B testing at scale), causal inference, and high-volume telemetry/data analysis.
Experience in digital advertising, ad-serving infrastructure, or web platform engineering.
Proven track record of designing, evolving, and operating large-scale, low-latency distributed backend systems.
Ability to influence technical direction across organizational boundaries and partner effectively.
Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end system design for complex, multi-quarter initiatives across browser runtimes and backend ad servers, balancing business generation , latency, and privacy.
Act as a technical authority and team multiplier across engineering groups-influencing multi-year architectural roadmaps, system boundaries, and API contracts across client tagging, ad serving, and privacy infrastructure.
Reduce complexity in critical codebases by designing clean abstractions, safe guardrails, and AI workflows that accelerate team velocity and reliability.
Design rigorous A/B experiments and high-volume telemetry pipelines to validate performance, latency, and monetization across billions of daily impressions.
Provide technical leadership to Cambridge-based engineers by breaking down complex problems, elevating design/code reviews, and coaching them into senior roles.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
