What we need

We are looking for a backend engineering leader to join our Supply Side Platform(SSP) and Exchange teams to help us build the best advertising platform for mobile developers.

We trust our engineers to own this critical system and handle the full life cycle of feature development, from initial design all the way to shipping into production.

We have a few different systems that are written in Scala and/or functional Java and have plenty of opportunities to flex your distributed, low-latency programming muscles, using technologies like Vert.X, Kafka, and others. Our systems are currently deployed on Google Cloud Platform, with some legacy uses of AWS.
