Role
Who you are

- 12+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years in engineering leadership roles managing teams of engineers
- Deep domain expertise in AdTech, ideally with direct experience in programmatic advertising, real-time bidding (RTB), or auction-based systems
- Strong grasp of distributed systems, low-latency architecture, and the trade-offs involved in building for scale and reliability
- Demonstrated ability to develop engineering talent and build high-functioning teams

What the job involves
- TripleLift is looking for a Senior Director of Engineering to lead a high-performing team of engineers and drive the technical vision behind our core platform capabilities
- You'll own the engineering direction for systems that operate at massive scale, with particular emphasis on the real-time auction infrastructure that powers TripleLift's marketplace
- You'll partner closely with product, data, and commercial leaders to define what we build and how we build it—and be directly responsible for the growth and effectiveness of the engineers on your team
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers across multiple workstreams, establishing clear expectations, career paths, and a culture of high performance
- Own the technical roadmap for your domain, balancing near-term delivery with long-term architectural integrity
- Drive the design and evolution of systems supporting real-time auction dynamics—including bid processing, decisioning pipelines, and low-latency infrastructure—ensuring reliability, throughput, and competitive performance at scale
- Partner with product and business stakeholders to translate strategic priorities into well-scoped engineering initiatives with measurable outcomes
- Set and uphold engineering standards across architecture, code quality, reliability, and operational excellence
- Identify and address organizational gaps—whether in process, tooling, or talent—and take ownership of resolving them
- Represent engineering in cross-functional planning and contribute to company-wide technical strategy
- Attract and retain strong engineering talent; build an inclusive, collaborative team environment
Our take
In order to survive in the digital age, businesses must now market their brand through omnichannel digital advertisement formats. However, building the technological infrastructure for omnichannel advertisement can be a convoluted process, with businesses having to liaise with multiple DSPs and publishers, and work with different software integrations across multiple platforms.
TripleLift is an omnichannel advertisement marketplace that aims to help businesses build advertisement campaigns across online video, CTV, display, branded content, and native formats within a single marketplace. The company partners with digital media publishers, DSPs, brands, and software companies to provide everything businesses need from analytic and engagement tools to the advertisement content itself.
There are many tech startups aiming to tackle the challenges of omnichannel advertising, and TripleLift has recognized that businesses seek operations from many of these providers, helping to reduce the complexity of marketing campaigns by connecting all parties within a single marketplace. Ultimately, this approach helps the company not only serve businesses and their marketing campaigns but also match the service providers with clients.
