- B.Sc. in Computer Science or an equivalent technical degree.
Bonus points if you have:
- Solid programming skills in Python
- Experience designing and operating telemetry, metrics collection, and alerting stacks at scale (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/logging).
- Practical background in optimizing infrastructure costs and resource efficiency across cloud and on-prem.
- Knowledge of machine learning, algorithms, data mining, or real-time bidding systems.
- Experience with Spark or HDFS.
How you’ll make an impact:
- Design, build, and optimize backend infrastructure supporting one of Taboola’s largest real-time data platforms.
- Own features end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Develop highly scalable services processing hundreds of thousands of requests per second and tens of terabytes of new data daily.
- Collaborate closely with experienced software engineers to solve complex distributed systems challenges.
- Build innovative platforms that improve real-time decision-making, experimentation, and marketplace performance.
- Drive technical excellence while influencing products that impact billions of content recommendations across the open web.
- Design and maintain monitoring and alerting setups to spot and address system health issues before they impact users.
