Responsibilities

Own the architecture of the money path

• Design a demand-source-agnostic serving layer: any exchange, ad server or deal plugs in behind one contract we own (OpenRTB 2.6 with Glance extensions).

• Keep decisioning — auction, floors, priority and ad-load policy — in our platform, never in adapters or partner consoles.

• Define the rendering contract the client SDK depends on (native, V AST , MRAID/HTML).

• Make the big calls and write them down: ADRs, latency budgets, build-versus-use decisions with InMobi platform teams.

Serve ads inside the Glance experience

• Build ad slots into Glance's content feed, with ad load balanced against dismiss rate, session depth and retention.

• Design for prefetch: ads fetched ahead of time and shown later , sometimes offline - caching, expiry , pacing and delayed impression beacons all have to hold.

• Own per-user frequency and ad load across every demand source, within latency, battery and memory budgets on low-end Android.

Set the bar and grow the team

• Run design reviews across serving, SDK, automation and revenue data, and own the API contracts between them.

• Make "what proves this?" the first question on any pricing or serving change, AI-assisted code included: replay evals, invariant checks, auto-rollback canaries.

• Be accountable for integrity gates: creative safety , invalid traffic, policy compliance.

• Review revenue-event and partner-reconciliation design so the numbers hold up to OEM audit.

• Mentor senior engineers into area leads, and make sure every service has a second owner

What we expect

Preferred qualifications

• Sell-side ad tech: SSPs, ad servers, Prebid / Prebid Server , Google Ad Manager.

• OpenRTB, V AST , MRAID and OM SDK; privacy signals (T CF , GPP) and supply-chain transparency (schain, sellers.json, app-ads. txt)

• Android or mobile SDK work under size, battery and cold-start budgets

• Consent frameworks (DPDP , GDPR, L GPD), invalid-traffic defences, or partner-billing systems that external partners audit

Benefits & perks

• Shape it from day one: set the architecture and standards of a new team, not maintain someone else's

• Room to grow: become the org's architecture authority as the team scales, or move into engineering management
