About the Role
AdRise is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead the Rainmaker Ad Server engineering domain, which is responsible for the core systems that decide, deliver, and govern advertising across our streaming ecosystem. This critical domain focuses on business-critical systems that require speed, reliability, scalability, and operational excellence. You will own a major engineering domain portfolio, driving multi-quarter results in delivery, reliability, and technical health, while collaborating with Product, Data Science, ML, Ads Operations, and platform partners to enhance ad serving capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Lead the Rainmaker Ad Server engineering team, setting technical direction, priorities, and execution standards for a high-scale, low-latency ad serving platform.
- Own the engineering strategy and roadmap for ad serving capabilities, balancing near-term business needs with long-term platform health, scalability, and maintainability.
- Partner with Product, Data Science, ML, and adjacent engineering teams to translate business goals into technical investments that improve delivery quality, monetization efficiency, and advertiser outcomes.
- Drive the architecture and evolution of distributed systems for ad decisioning, auction logic, targeting, eligibility, pacing integrations, and large-scale serving reliability.
- Build and develop a high-performing engineering organization by coaching managers and senior engineers, growing staff-level leadership, and creating clarity in roles, expectations, and career development.
- Establish high standards for engineering excellence through design reviews, operational rigor, observability, incident management, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
- Improve team execution by strengthening planning, prioritization, delivery predictability, and cross-functional alignment.
- Identify and address architectural bottlenecks, organizational friction, and process gaps to increase velocity without compromising system correctness or reliability.
- Champion modernization through platform simplification, performance optimization, infrastructure improvements, or better developer workflows.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, with substantial experience in backend infrastructure and real-time services.
- 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing senior engineers and engineering managers in high-performing technical organizations.
- Strong technical depth in low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems, with the ability to guide architecture and make sound tradeoffs in performance, reliability, scalability, and developer velocity.
- Experience leading teams responsible for business-critical production systems with demanding uptime and performance requirements.
- Strong background with JVM-based backend systems, ideally Scala, with fluency in modern service-oriented architecture and distributed systems design.
- Experience with core backend infrastructure such as Postgres, Redis, Kafka and/or Kinesis, and cloud-native operational environments.
- Demonstrated success partnering cross-functionally with Product, Data Science, ML, and other engineering teams to deliver complex, multi-team initiatives.
- Track record of building strong teams, mentoring senior engineers, and creating environments where technical leaders can thrive.
- Strong operational instincts, including experience driving incident response, service reliability improvements, and engineering process maturity.
- High ownership, sound judgment, and a pragmatic approach to balancing technical quality with business impact.
