Role Overview:

We are hiring a Tech Lead / SDE IV to anchor and grow our Data Engineering capability within our Demand-Side Platform (DSP). This is a high-impact, technically hands-on leadership role at the intersection of real-time data infrastructure, programmatic advertising, and scalable backend systems. You will own the design and delivery of pipelines that power bidding intelligence, audience targeting, campaign analytics, and attribution — processing billions of bid-stream events daily. Alongside your data engineering mandate, you will architect and contribute to backend microservices that sit at the core of our DSP stack, including integrations with SSPs, ad exchanges, and identity resolution platforms. You will mentor a team of engineers, drive technical direction, and collaborate closely with product, ML, and growth functions to turn data into a true competitive advantage.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Stack

Design and own end-to-end data pipelines — batch and real-time — handling bid requests, win/loss events, impression logs, click streams, and conversion signals at scale.

Build and maintain our data lakehouse architecture (ingestion → storage → serving layer) optimized for low-latency DSP analytics and ML feature generation.

Define standards for data quality, lineage, observability, and SLA adherence across all data products.

Own and evolve our StarRocks deployment for real-time analytical queries — schema design, ingestion patterns, and query optimisation for DSP reporting workloads.

Drive FinOps discipline across the data platform — track compute and storage costs, enforce resource quotas, identify optimisation opportunities, and report on unit economics.

Establish and lead Data Governance practices: metadata management, data cataloguing, access control policies, PII classification, and data retention standards compliant with GDPR and CCPA.

Backend Microservices

Contribute to and review the design of backend services that power DSP functionality — bid shading, pacing, budget management, and reporting APIs.

Architect data contracts and event schemas between microservices, ensuring consistency across the bid request lifecycle.

Champion best practices in API design, service reliability (SLOs, circuit breakers, retries), and observability (distributed tracing, structured logging, metrics).

Collaborate with the bidder team on low-latency da
