About The Position

As the Tech Lead / Senior Software Engineer for the Yobi Ad Platform, you’ll be responsible for leading the design and implementation of the systems that power our real-time ML-based advertising stack. This is a senior role where you will own a major product bet, mentor other engineers, and drive architectural direction—while still spending more than half of your time building. You’ll work across low-latency decisioning, data pipelines, and service orchestration layers to make our platform reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly. The work spans real-time bidding systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and reproducible deployment tooling.

Requirements

You have experience leading multi-person or even multi-team projects.
You know when to empower/influence another person or team, and when to roll up your sleeves and implement it yourself
Deep systems experience. You’ve built or scaled distributed, high-throughput, low-latency systems—ideally in advertising, recommendations, or another real-time domain.
Strong with compiled languages. You’re fluent in one or more of Go, Rust, C++, Scala, or Java, and write code with clarity, correctness, and performance in mind.
Architectural ownership. You can design clean interfaces, modular service boundaries, and deployment patterns that scale with product and team growth.
Operational maturity. You understand observability, alerting, and reproducibility, and you treat CI/CD and infrastructure as first-class citizens.
Mentorship and leadership. You lead by example, elevate those around you, and turn ambiguity into clarity and action.
Startup mindset. You balance strong technical standards with pragmatism—you know when to ship and when to refactor.
