Experience with one or more areas of the modern advertising ecosystem, such as ad serving, video ad delivery, SSAI/CSAI, VAST, programmatic advertising or header bidding.
Experience leading architecture and technical strategy across projects involving multiple engineers or teams.
Strong understanding of API design, distributed systems, reliability, observability, and system performance.
