Why RTB House?
If you are looking for a place where you can really make a difference , then RTB House might be the right fit for you. The Bidding Platform organization is the core of the RTB business, processing over 20 million requests per second to participate in real-time auctions and display advertisements to customers from 90+ countries. The Platform Engineering team, which this job advert relates to, sits within the Bidding Platform and owns the platform and infrastructure that our bidding applications run on — deployment, monitoring, databases, load balancing and Kubernetes. The team makes sure these foundations stay reliable and scalable under massive, low-latency load, and provides self-service tooling with clear usage contracts, so the vertical (business) teams can build and ship autonomously. The exact scope is likely to evolve over time as our platform grows in scale and complexity.

You Will:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of ~8–10 strong systems and backend engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and high code quality.
• Own the vision and roadmap for the platform layer of the Bidding Platform - planning its evolution with platform efficiency, reliability, scalability and security as the guiding lens.
• Take part in defining the team's evolving scope — as the platform grows, we anticipate the need for multiple platform teams, leaving meaningful room to shape the scope around the areas that interest you most.
• Delegate ownership of whole platform areas (e.g. monitoring, deployment, security) to senior engineers advising and supporting them when needed.
• Deliver the team's capabilities as self-service platforms with clear usage contracts. For example, in monitoring the team provides and operates the monitoring platform and defines the contract for using it - while creating individual metrics and watching them day-to-day stays with the vertical (business) teams that own the applications.
