Staff Software Engineer - AdTech Demand

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our AdTech tribe in Berlin. You will act as a technical leader within our Demand Adtech Domain, driving the architectural vision of our next-generation AdTech products. This platform empowers restaurants and local shops to promote themselves and reach new customers at a massive scale.

You will play a pivotal role in a geographically distributed tribe of over 14 squads. While our squads move quickly with a "we build it, we run it" principle, your role is to ensure these solutions are cohesive, scalable, and future-proof. You will bridge the gap between business goals and technical execution, optimizing the customer experience across more than 10 million orders per day.

Your Mission:

• Architectural Leadership: Drive cross-domain and cross-tribe architecture discussions. Challenge the status quo, identify bottlenecks in our microservices ecosystem, and design robust, high-availability solutions that scale with our 10M+ daily orders.
• Strategic Vision: Craft a long-term vision for the AdTech platform’s evolution. Partner with Engineering and Product Management to define technical OKRs for the tribe and domain, balancing feature delivery with technical debt reduction.
• Engineering Excellence: Set standards for code quality, testing, and observability. Lead by example in coding and system design, and mentor Senior Engineers to help them grow into the next generation of leaders.
• Scalability & Performance: Design and optimize complex backend services. Ensure our systems can handle high throughput and low latency, integrating best practices for Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure.
• Collaboration: Act as a bridge between squads. Ensure that individual components built by different teams integrate seamlessly into the wider AdTech ecosystem to create a cohesive platform.
