Contribute to the experimentation framework (flights, traffic sub-groups) to enable safe, high-cadence A/B tests. Improve observability of the request path: structured Event Hub logging, sampling strategies, metrics, and tracing across the bidder fan-out.
• Infrastructure & Cloud Contribute to Azure-native deployment and operational excellence across AKS, ACR, Azure Key Vault, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Event Hubs, and Azure AD. Participate in initiatives to reduce cost-per-request, improve cold-start and config-reload behavior, and harden cross-region failover. Improve CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps, including canary and progressive rollout strategies.
• Team Impact Help make delivery of high-quality software consistent and efficient across the SDLC — from technical design through testing, deployment, and oncall. Contribute to runbooks, deployment documentation, and oncall readiness. Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews. Leverage AI dev tools to raise personal and team-wide engineering productivity.
