You will lead complex initiatives across multiple domains from building resilient backend infrastructure and intelligent APIs to integrating ML driven campaign systems and rethinking marketer tooling.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, develop and maintain scalable and resilient backend systems powering our CMS, AdServer, CMS, CRM, and optimization pipelines.
  • Build reusable UI components and responsive interfaces that allow marketers to manage, launch, and analyze campaigns with ease.
  • Build high-performance APIs and services that integrate with internal platforms and external ad ecosystems.
  • Partner with the Account Managers and Operations team to productionize models that drive ad personalization, budget pacing, and bid optimization.
  • Design and evolve real-time and batch data pipelines that support campaign analytics, attribution, and experimentation at scale.
  • Lead cross-functional collaboration with product, design, and business teams to translate requirements into robust software solutions.
  • Ensure system observability, operational excellence, and uptime across critical infrastructure components.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
  • Drive technical planning and contribute to the evolution of our platform strategy and long-term architectural vision.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends in advertising technology, distributed systems, and machine learning and bring relevant innovations into the team.
  • Take ownership of major initiatives and continuously identify opportunities to improve performance, scalability, and developer experience.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional experience designing and delivering production-grade software systems.
  • Proven success architecting distributed systems and backend services in high-scale environments.
  • Strong fluency in Go (Golang) and experience building services using microservice architectures.
  • Deep knowledge of APIs, cloud-native infrastructure (e.g. GCP, BigQuery, Cloud Run), and data engineering patterns.
  • Hands-on experience with real-time systems, streaming data (e.g. Pub/Sub, Kafka), and event-based architectures.
  • Passion for performance marketing, experimentation frameworks, and measurable impact.
  • Outstanding communication skills, including the ability to influence stakeholders and lead through ambiguity.
  • Experience in the AdTech ecosystem (e.g., RTB systems, campaign management, creative tooling).
  • Prior ownership of infrastructure at scale, including observability, cost optimization, and compliance (e.g. GDPR, CCPA).
  • Knowledge of caching systems (Redis, Memcached), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Exposure to non-relational databases (e.g., BigTable, DynamoDB) and caching systems such as Redis or Memcached.
