Team

The Engineering & Data team builds innovative tech products and platforms to support the impressive growth of their gaming and consumer apps which allow Voodoo to stay at the forefront of the mobile industry. Within the Data team, you’ll join the Ad-Network Team which is an autonomous squad of around 60 people. The team is composed of top-tier software engineers, infrastructure engineers, data engineers, mobile engineers, and data scientists. The goal of this team is to provide a way for Voodoo to monetize our inventory directly with advertising partners, and relies on advanced technological solutions to optimize advertising in a real-time bidding environment. It is a strategic topic with significant impact on the business. This role can be done on fully remote (EMEA time-zone).

Role

• You will integrate a small, high-ownership squad where you own the full lifecycle - design, implement, deploy, monitor, and iterate - with direct impact on revenue-critical systems processing millions of bid requests per second. - Lead the design and architecture of backend services that power real-time model inference and bidding decisions for our OpenRTB platform. - Collaborate with data scientists and machine learning engineers to deploy, monitor, and optimize ML models that influence real-time bidding strategies, pricing decisions, and targeting - including potentially developing proprietary models in-house. - Oversee the development of A/B testing frameworks and ensure the seamless integration of experimentation tools into our platform for continuous model and bidding optimization. - Ensure that all backend services are high-performance, low-latency, and scalable, capable of handling large data volumes (millions of bidding events per second). - Set best practices for architecture, API design, and distributed systems to ensure robust and maintainable systems at scale. - Work with the cloud infrastructure teams to ensure efficient deployment, scaling, and monitoring of backend services using Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. - Work closely with product managers to define and implement new features, optimizations, and improvements to the bidding and model inference system. - Lead efforts to optimize performance and cost-efficiency across the backend infrastructure, ensuring that the system can scale effectively with increasing traffic and data. - Continuously monitor the system’s performance, perform post-deployment analysis, and make improvements based on real-world usage and A/B test results. # Profile (Must Have)
