  • Create and present independent design reviews; translate feature requirements into robust technical designs with end-to-end ownership of planning, execution, and release.
  • Propose and integrate Generative AI to optimize ad delivery, targeting, and system efficiency.
  • Develop and maintain scalable backend services using Java, Spring Boot, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, and related frameworks.
  • Design efficient data models and optimize MySQL/PostgreSQL queries for high performance and reliability at massive scale (trillions in data volume, concurrency, transactions).
  • Implement observability with comprehensive logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting using Filebeat, ELK stack, and similar tools.
  • Guide team on code quality, design patterns, and documentation; participate in code reviews, design discussions, and cross-team decisions.
  • Mentor junior/senior engineers and deliver technical deep-dive training sessions every 3–4 months.
  • Solve "impossible" problems creatively, align with organizational goals, and foster a culture of innovation and technical leadership.

We'd Love for You to Have:

  • 5 - 8 years of core software engineering experience, with a proven track record designing and deploying enterprise-grade applications.
  • Expert Java backend skills: Advanced proficiency in Java 11+, Spring/Spring Boot ecosystem, and REST web service development.
  • Exceptional problem-solving: Strong analytical skills to troubleshoot complex distributed systems in dynamic, high-stakes environments.
  • Hands-on AI/GenAI experience: Building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), agentic workflows, and model integrations.
  • Data mastery: Expertise in relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL)—schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
  • Middleware & scaling: Practical work with messaging queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka), caching (Redis, Memcached), and high-concurrency systems.
  • DevOps mindset: Strong understanding of CI/CD, Kubernetes, Docker, and monitoring (ELK, Prometheus/Grafana).
  • UI exposure (good to have): AngularJS or modern Angular for frontend development.
  • AdTech knowledge (preferred): Digital advertising, real-time bidding, or high-volume data processing.

Qualification:

Should have a bachelor’s degree in engineering or an equivalent degree from a well-known institute/university.
