Engineering Manager

Advertising at our client is a fast-growing multi-billion dollar business that spans across desktop, mobile and connected devices; encompasses ads on our clients portal and a vast network of hundreds of thousands of third party publishers; and extends across US, EU and an increasing number of international geographies.The Supply Quality organization in Bangalore has the charter to solve optimization problems for ad programs to ensure high-quality ad-impressions. We develop advanced algorithms and systems to optimize performance for our advertisers and publishers. We are focused on solving a wide variety of problems in computational advertising like traffic quality prediction (robot and fraud detection), Security forensics and research, Viewability prediction, Brand Safety and experimentation. Our team includes experts in the areas of distributed computing, machine learning, statistics, optimization, text mining, information theory and big data systems.The Supply Quality infrastructure(SQI) team builds large-scale real-time transactional solutions, batch and stream processing systems, internet scale crawling solutions and storage infrastructure. We process bid requests in the orders of tens of billions per day with our real-time, batch and stream processing systems. To handle data at this scale, we use cutting-edge open source technologies like Hadoop, Spark, Redis etc.. We are not tied to one technology. Instead, we use what is best suited for the purpose. All of our systems tend to be loosely coupled, communicating using synchronous and asynchronous messaging, leading to a classic distributed processing architecture. All our systems need to also implement complex machine learning and optimization algorithms at scale. We are looking for a talented Engineering Manager to lead a new big-data engineering initiative within SQI. The team will own building highly available, efficient and low latency internet scale infrastructure including web-scale crawler, contextual processing and classification systems that will be used across multiple advertising use cases.
