Depending on your interests and skills, you may do more feature work or more infrastructure work.

We’re proponents of hexagonal architecture and monolithic applications sharing different responsibilities (web app, CLI, airflow, and background processing connected to the common domain).

Engineering Challenge:

• The system integrates with large ad networks via HTTP.
• Handles peak load of 750K requests per second (RPS).
• Strict 120ms request processing time requirement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain the OpenRTB bidder (HTTP server).
• Work on the data processing pipeline for handling high-throughput ad network requests
• Maintain and develop the service
  
  

Requirements:

• Strong expertise in Clojure.
• Experience with Clojure and JVM performance tuning to meet high-performance demands (750K RPS, 120ms latency).
• Deep understanding of various data structures for quick lookup (e.g., Bloom filters, hashing algorithms and their internal implementations), demonstrating strong algorithmic experience
• Thorough comprehension of data locality and experience in selecting data structure locations based on access patterns.
• Proficiency in lazy evaluations and computation graphs
• Understanding of the redis cluster architecture and leveraging available mechanisms for fast data retrieval

Nice-to-Have:

• Familiarity with OpenRTB protocol and AdTech in general
• Knowledge of Python is essential, as it is the language used throughout the rest of the system.
• Familiarity with asynchronous programming (relevant due to the use of Manifold and Aleph, which are built for asynchronous I/O in Clojure)
  Experience with observability tools like Grafana and Prometheus
