You’ll architect resilient, cloud-native backend services that power large-scale ad delivery and campaign planning tools across the SiriusXM and Pandora ecosystem. Beyond building systems, you’ll shape engineering practices — leading modernization, scalability, and reliability initiatives that move our ad tech platforms forward. ### What you’ll do Lead the design and development of scalable, maintainable services that power ad buying and the complicated parts to it. Architect and evolve the Slingshot platform toward modern and cloud-native paradigms. Drive end-to-end execution — from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and performance optimization. Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data Engineering, DevOps, and SRE to deliver high-impact, integrated ad buying capabilities. Partner with data, UI, billing, and ad trafficking teams to optimize end-to-end ad buying workflows through intelligent automation. Champion observability, reliability, and operational excellence using Datadog, Grafana, and modern CI/CD practices. Mentor engineers across teams, fostering a culture of technical rigor, inclusion, and continuous improvement. Influence long-term architecture and technology strategy, aligning with SiriusXM’s broader ad tech roadmap. ### What you’ll need 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in a Staff or equivalent senior technical leadership role. Expertise in Python (Django, FastAPI, or similar frameworks) and backend architecture (e.g. microservices). Strong foundation in distributed systems and data pipelines, with hands-on experience in Kafka, Celery, or Airflow. Experience with ad serving or delivery platforms (e.g., Google Ad Manager, AdsWizz, Triton). Deep familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation. Proficiency with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry, Grafana) and CI/CD workflows. Demonstrated success leading cross-team technical initiatives, mentoring engineers, and influencing large-scale architecture. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
