Every ad request carries real money , a real user's screen and an OEM partner's trust, and is decided in milliseconds on a low-end Android phone.\nWe're starting a focused new team of senior engineers in Bangalore. As its Staff Engineer (individual contributor , tech-lead track), you'll set the architecture, hold the quality bar , and be the person the team turns to when a design decision could move revenue.\nWhat you will do\nOwn the architecture of the money path\nDesign a demand-source-agnostic serving layer: any exchange, ad server or deal plugs in behind one contract we own (OpenRTB 2.6 with Glance extensions).\nKeep decisioning - auction, floors, priority and ad-load policy - in our platform, never in adapters or partner consoles.\nDefine the rendering contract the client SDK depends on (native, V AST , MRAID/HTML).\nMake the big calls and write them down: ADRs, latency budgets, build-versus-use decisions with InMobi platform teams.\nServe ads inside the Glance experience\nBuild ad slots into Glance's content feed, with ad load balanced against dismiss rate, session depth and retention.\nDesign for prefetch: ads fetched ahead of time and shown later , sometimes offline - caching, expiry , pacing and delayed impression beacons all have to hold.\nOwn per-user frequency and ad load across every demand source, within latency, battery and memory budgets on low-end Android.\nSet the bar and grow the team\nRun design reviews across serving, SDK, automation and revenue data, and own the API contracts between them.\nMake \"what proves this?\" the first question on any pricing or serving change, AI-assisted code included: replay evals, invariant checks, auto-rollback canaries.\nBe accountable for integrity gates: creative safety , invalid traffic, policy compliance.\nReview revenue-event and partner-reconciliation design so the numbers hold up to OEM audit.\nMentor senior engineers into area leads, and make sure every service has a second owner\nWhat we expect\n10+ years, including ownership of a low-latency , high-throughput system where a bad deploy shows up as lost revenue - ad serving, payments, trading or pricing.\nDistributed systems depth: partitioning, replication, consistency , failure modes, graceful degradation.\nDeep, hands-on Java and Spring Boot (our serving stack), including JVM/GC tuning for low latency; comfortable in Python (F astAPI) for ML and data services.\nCloud (GCP or A WS), Kubernetes and CI/CD , designing for cost of serving, not just uptime\nEvent pipelines at scale (Kafka, Spark or Flink), reconciled against an external source of truth\nSafe releases without a manual pass: contract and replay testing, canaries, automated rollback, SL Os you've been paged on RFCs and ADRs that lead to decisions, and influence across teams you don't manage\nIf you match most of this but not all, we'd still like to hear from you.\nNice to have\nSell-side ad tech: SSPs, ad servers, Prebid / Prebid Server , Google Ad Manager.\nOpenRTB, V AST , MRAID and OM SDK; privacy signals (T CF , GPP) and supply-chain transparency (schain, sellers.json, app-ads. txt)\nAndroid or mobile SDK work under size, battery and cold-start budgets\nConsent frameworks (DPDP , GDPR, L GPD), invalid-traffic defences, or partner-billing systems that external partners audit\nWhy join us\nShape it from day one: set the architecture and standards of a new team, not maintain someone else's\nRoom to grow: become the org's architecture authority as the team scales, or move into engineering management\n\"Glance collects and processes personal data such as your name, contact details, resume and other information that may contain personal data for the purpose of processing your application.
