Descrizione del lavoro

This role leads the technical design of an ads and marketing platform that builds retail media campaigns and serves ads to shoppers. It asks for deep experience across a low-latency Go ad server, Python services on Azure Functions, and Kotlin services being split up, plus a shared PostgreSQL schema. A strong candidate has led large migrations with no downtime, can guide several teams toward one direction, and still writes code in the hardest areas.

How it fits the AI era

AI agents already handle parts of campaign authoring and creative generation here, so much of the engineering is about giving those agents clean data, reliable services and safe limits. Code assistants can speed up routine work and migration chores. Judgment about architecture, tradeoffs in speed and reliability, and deciding how to move each tenant safely stays with people.

How it builds AI experience

Working here would mean building the systems that AI agents rely on, using a large retail dataset of transactions, products and campaign results. Someone could grow by designing how agents call services, how generated creatives are checked, and how results feed back into ad decisions. Outside the job, building a small project that connects an AI model to a service with clear guardrails is a good way to practice.
