Platform Architect – Samsung AdsPosition Summary

Software Architects at Samsung Ads know their product and architecture like the back of their hands. They relentlessly drive for excellence, focus on important issues, and solve complicated problems. They constantly innovate and make visions a reality, partnering with engineering managers and product managers to execute. They manage constraints and own what is possible. They coordinate amongst multiple sites worldwide and always work towards increased communication and productivity. If this sounds like you, please read on!

Over the last few years, Samsung has been investing in building a portfolio of engaging services across its devices to complement its market-leading hardware business, while leveraging its unparalleled global distribution footprint. These services, coupled with a vast partner network and proprietary data, generate a massive opportunity for ad-based monetization. Six years into this journey, Samsung Ads is a highly successful and fast-growing business. This business and its continued future success depend on the products, technologies, and tools owned by the Global Ads Product & Engineering team. Hundreds of people strong, with a substantial presence in five countries, the Global Ads P&E team is a dynamic and complex organization, operating across a broad spectrum of product and strategic domains.

Our Architecture team is responsible for defining, refining, and guiding the execution of long, medium, and short-term visions for our systems, as well as for major investments across our product suite. In this role, you’ll report directly to our US Site Lead Architect in Mountain View, and you will be a close partner with Senior Engineering and Product Leadership.

Our tech stack includes a mixture of Python, Erlang, Go, Java, Scala, Snowflake, Spark and Kubernetes running on AWS cloud. This role requires an incumbent who has previously architected big data systems in AdTech specifically as it is focused on Ad Serving initiatives that touch our DSP.

You will enjoy this job if you have a deep innate passion for software engineering, distributed systems, systems architecture, and big data. You will need to demonstrate a wide breadth across multiple engineering disciplines, while also having depth in several key areas. You should have an eye and a knack for some product work (both authoritative and working with product teams in refining and defining their vision). Language agnostic polyglots will excel in this role!

Finally, at Samsung Ads we believe success in an Architect role specifically requires strong communication skills along with technical expertise. After all, it’s one thing to be right, it’s quite another to guide a large organization to get it right. The latter requires teamwork and building understanding, which means you will be expected to work with others and lead through influence as well through code.
