Responsibilities
Serve as the architecture interface between Product and Engineering, converting market and client needs into pragmatic, end-to-end solution designs for Streaming Hub (SSP/ad server), Programmatic Demand (DSP), Audience/Identity, Measurement, and Revenue Science platforms
Produce Solution Blueprints, Reference Architectures, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that balance speed with long-term maintainability, platform consistency, and extensibility
Guide Product-aligned Architecture Roadmaps, sequencing capabilities to deliver measurable business value while reducing technical debt
Provide hands-on design leadership for cloud-native (Kubernetes, microservices, data plane/control plane) systems including reliability (SLOs/SLA), observability, security, privacy, and cost controls
Shape standards for data contracts, identity, consent, measurement, and programmatic interoperability across buy- and sell-side workflows
Identify and lead strategic initiatives to grow our technical capability, reducing tech debt, improve software quality and velocity
Establish common practices for teams to ensure end software and systems interact seamlessly with one another
Advise and support leaders on technical choices and associated risks and rewards on build, buy, extend, customize and deprecate strategies; facilitate architecture reviews; and de-risk delivery with proof-of-concepts and reference implementations
Reinforce and voice support for grounding principles to ensure architecture designs are stable, secure, scalable, reusable, and operable
Review and ensure Solution Designs produced both internally and by 3rd party suppliers
Apply new and innovative ideas to business and technology constraints, champion diversity and innovation
Develop strategies and guidelines on cloud governance, tech stack selection, capability development and systems deprecation
Operate as a product-minded architect who frames design choices in terms of client value, market differentiation, and time-to-impact
Raise the bar on platform thinking (shared services, paved roads, golden paths), ensuring we build once and reuse broadly
Lead design forums and cross-functional architecture reviews; drive clarity via ADRs and migration plans that teams can execute
Balance near-term delivery with long-term modernization (domain boundaries, event-driven patterns, data mesh where appropriate)
Model pragmatism and coaching—unblock delivery teams, simplify where possible, and document patterns others can follow
Drive results and growth. Contribute to measurable operational excellence (availability, latency, quality, resilience, security, cost) tied to business SLAs/SLOs
Guide, encourage, and empower teams around you by leaning into problems and encouraging them to do so too. Contribute to talent growth by mentoring architects/engineers and evolving our EA practices and artifacts

10+ years in software architecture/engineering, with 5+ years leading distributed, high-scale, low-latency systems (Go/Java/Scala, gRPC/REST, Kafka/Pub-Sub, columnar/NoSQL stores)
Designed or led architectures for ad serving and SSP platforms (preferably premium video/CTV), including unified decisioning (direct + programmatic), mediation, forecasting, and yield protections
Working knowledge of header bidding, deal types (OpenRTB, PMP, curated deals), supply-path optimization (SPO), and auction transparency
Built or integrated with DSP workflows (planning, activation, bidding, pacing/optimization, frequency management, brand safety, measurement)
Practical grasp of identity & addressability (e.g., first-party graphs, UID2/PPID concepts, clean rooms), and how buyers/sellers align IDs for targeting and measurement (preferably in CTV)
Architected privacy-centric audience and measurement capabilities—data onboarding, audience building/forecasting, reach/frequency, outcomes—using standardized signals and ID interoperability
Kubernetes (multi-cluster, multi-region), service mesh, autoscaling, observability (OpenTelemetry), and resilience engineering; hands-on with at least one major cloud
Strong security and privacy patterns (OAuth/OIDC, tokenization, encryption, secrets, least-privilege, auditability) and FinOps sensibilities
