• Build externalized APIs for third-party integrators as well as integrating with third-party data vendors across diverse delivery mechanisms
• Build data ingestion and processing pipelines that support multiple delivery mechanisms (batch files, data streams, API endpoints)
• Demonstrate strong backend engineering skills with Java, Spring Boot, and experience with distributed systems, microservices, NoSQL databases, Apache Kafka, and CI/CD pipelines on cloud/AWS
• Maintain working familiarity with advertising demand-side systems: account registration, campaign management, account management, and authorization
