Description

Senior Software Engineer | Go, Python & Real-Time Bidding I’m recruiting for a growing AdTech company looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep hands-on experience building real-time programmatic bidding systems. This is not a general backend role where AdTech experience is simply a plus. They need someone who understands the architecture and mechanics behind RTB, SSPs, DSP integrations, ad exchanges and OpenRTB — and has actually built or operated these systems in production. You’ll join the core team responsible for a large-scale programmatic advertising platform processing high volumes of traffic across dozens of services. What you’ll work on: Architect and build real-time bidding and auction infrastructureDevelop and scale SSP / DSP integrations and OpenRTB workflowsWork across bid requests, responses, timeouts, floor pricing and deal mechanicsBuild high-throughput, latency-sensitive backend servicesHelp migrate performance-critical systems from Python to GoOwn major backend initiatives from architecture through productionImprove scalability, reliability and performance across the ad platformMentor engineers and contribute to architectural direction What they’re looking for: 7+ years of backend software engineering experienceStrong production experience with GoStrong production experience with PythonDeep professional experience in AdTechHands-on experience building RTB platforms, SSPs, DSPs or ad exchangesStrong understanding of OpenRTB and programmatic auction mechanicsExperience with high-scale distributed or latency-sensitive systemsAbility to operate as a senior IC and hit the ground running Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, microservices and cloud infrastructure is valuable. GCP is a plus, but experience with any major cloud platform works. This is a strong opportunity for an experienced AdTech engineer who wants to own technically difficult infrastructure at real scale without the bureaucracy of a massive advertising platform. **Remote/**Optional NYC office access $170K–$185K base + equity If you’ve built real-time bidding infrastructure and know the SSP/DSP ecosystem from the inside, please apply!
