Description
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Auction Logic team, specifically focused on build, test, deploy, and monitoring. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will lead the cross-team engineering efforts to build business critical products for publishers and buyers on the Monetize platform. You will collaborate with a team of smart, passionate engineers. You will own significant areas of the Monetize real-time platforms and function as the architect. You will participate in setting the roadmap and direction for your areas of responsibility.
The Monetize real-time platform is a large-scale distributed platform operating under strict real-time constraints, responding to and executing real-time, dynamic auctions in less than 100 milliseconds. In the past few years, we’ve grown from processing 300k QPS to over 5 million QPS for an approximate total of 100 billion requests per day. These events generate more than 150 TB of new data every day. Engineers work on the real-time components to optimize our software for performance, space, and algorithmic efficiency.
As a technical leader, you’ll design and implement solutions that span multiple applications on the real-time platform, are high quality, require hard real-time constraints, are easy to operate and maintain, and make the lives of product engineers easier. You will own or influence significant parts of the platform and allied areas. You will work closely with other engineers and our product teams, to not only make these systems go faster and handle more and more data, but also to build revolutionary new products for our clients.
Responsibilities will include:
- Designing and implementing scalable solutions including new features and enhancements of our Platform.
- Participating in and helping lead planning sessions with Product Management and Engineering team leads to constructing feature requirements and specifications.
- Produce prototype features quickly and participate in gathering feedback from clients.
- Bring innovation to the team in new features, improving build processes and product development lifecycle.
- Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to increase code efficiency, maintainability and robustness.
- Support and debug production level issues and provide fixes in an expedient manner.
- Mentor junior engineers on best practices in software development
