We are looking for Senior Engineers to support our Bidding Platform organization which is the core of the RTB business, processing over 20 million requests per second to participate in real-time auctions and display advertisements to customers from 90+ countries.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design and lead implementation of system changes that deliver high performance, scalability and observability for displaying and tracking ads world wide
  • Develop tools and optimizations to drive measurable improvements in critical user performance metrics
  • Implement, test, deploy, monitor and maintain (in all aspects, including setting up environment, writing configuration code, monitor production) HTTP / gRPC services and batch jobs in Java and Python, ensuring adherence to the high engineering standards
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership: solving complex system challenges, participating in planning and scoping of projects, and ensuring the implementation of the highest coding standards through participation in code reviews

Requirements:

  • Excellent understanding of how complex IT systems work - from the hardware level, through software, to algorithms
  • Very good knowledge of fundamental Internet protocols and technologies (DNS, HTTP, cookies and others)
  • Good knowledge of basic methods of creating concurrent programs and distributed systems (from thread level to geo-distributed clusters level)
  • Practical ability to observe, monitor and analyse the operation of production systems (and draw valuable conclusions from it)
  • The ability to critically analyze the solutions created in terms of performance (from estimating the theoretical performance of the designed systems to detecting and removing actual performance problems in production)
  • General knowledge of issues (typical problems and methods of solving them) in the areas of 'high scalability' and 'high availability'
  • C1 level in English and Polish

Nice to have:

  • Experience in the AdTech/Real Time Bidding space
  • Experience contributing to Real User Monitoring (RUM) systems
What we offer:
  • Projects focused on extreme performance and high code quality – solid code reviews are our standard
  • Collaboration within an interdisciplinary, self-sufficient team (including DevOps, database experts, backend developers, product designers, and QA engineers)
  • Hardware and software tailored to your preferences (e.g., MacBook, AI tool licenses)
  • Flexible working conditions – no core hours, fully remote cooperation possible
