Software Engineer II - Auction Logic Engineering Team

Job Description

Description

Consider some of the problems you will try to solve:
• Large-scale distributed systems: Our real-time budget problem requires a low-latency feedback loop, pushing updates on millions of objects to thousands of machines using our custom caching solution, all while observing strict SLA requirements.
• Interesting algorithmic problems: Optimize revenue, memory footprint, and overall algorithmic efficiency, making use of the latest research and techniques, high end hardware, lock-free data structures, intelligent thread design, and system architecture.
• Programming, probability, and statistics: Client success depends on the ability to accurately predict and track the performance of thousands of advertising campaigns that bid on a cost per impression, cost per click, cost per acquisition, or cost per view basis, all while staying within our 100ms time limit.
About the job:
• Design and implement new features and enhancements to our platform that require hard real-time constraints and elegant, yet powerful software solutions
• Collaborate within a small functional team with diverse technology backgrounds, as well as across multiple functional teams that develop systems and integrate across the platform
• Deploy regular code releases to production and test environments; prioritize bug fixes to ensure critical up-time
• Be responsible for the general health of the global real-time applications that must be operational 24/7/365
• Participate in design discussions about new features and ensure real-time technology integrates seamlessly with other pieces of the platform
