  • Strong familiarity with OpenRTB, VAST, and programmatic advertising workflows.
  • Solid knowledge of SQL,PostgreSQL and large-scale analytics platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, or similar).
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and distributed system design.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with product, data science, analytics, and ML teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to own systems end-to-end, influence architecture, and deliver at scale.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to drive technical direction and mentor others.
