## What You Will Do

- Lead the technical design, architecture, and implementation of complex, high-throughput components for the core ad exchange platform.
- Write exceptionally optimized, highly concurrent code (Go or Java), taking ownership of system performance where every millisecond counts.
- Act as a technical pillar for the Dublin team: mentor mid-level/junior engineers, elevate code quality through PR reviews, and set engineering standards.
- Take end-to-end ownership of critical services-from initial system design and agentic-assisted coding workflows, through to CI/CD deployment and production monitoring.
- Partner closely with the Engineering Manager and product stakeholders to translate high-level business requirements into scalable, robust technical architecture.
- Drive operational excellence by proactively identifying bottlenecks, optimizing infrastructure footprint, and leading complex incident resolutions.

## What You Will Bring

- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong focus on distributed backend systems.
- Deep expertise in system-level or strongly typed languages (Go or Java), with advanced knowledge of concurrency, memory management, and performance profiling.
- Proven track record of architecting and scaling high-throughput, low-latency applications.
- Extensive hands-on experience with Cloud Computing platforms (GCP, AWS) and container orchestration at scale (Kubernetes, Docker).
- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD), IaC (Terraform), and modern observability stacks (Grafana, ELK).
- Practical experience using and advocating for agentic-assisted development tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) to increase team velocity.
- Bonus: Deep domain experience in Ad-Tech, FinTech, High-Frequency Trading, or other environments handling tens of thousands of requests per second.

## What We Offer

- Stay healthy and covered with our comprehensive Health, Life, and Income Protection Insurances
- Save on everyday travels with our TaxSaver Commuter tickets
- Recharge with 23 paid vacation days + 3 Wellness days throughout the year, in addition to the public holidays
- Support your mental well-being with our Workplace Mental Health Solution
