Who you are

Design and maintain Helm charts for applications and services across multiple environments
Drive platform reliability — owning scalability, availability, and disaster recovery strategy (load balancing, auto-scaling, multi-region resilience)
Define and implement observability standards across metrics, logging, and tracing (Grafana, New Relic, OpenTelemetry)
Serve as a technical lead during incidents on primary revenue-generating applications, owning resolution and contributing to post-mortems
Mentor engineers across the team and act as a trusted advisor to development teams on infrastructure best practices, security standards, and platform adoption

Our take

The Verve Group provides an omnichannel advertising platform that connects advertisers, agencies, brands, and publishers to people in real time. Verve places a significant emphasis on privacy in its offering, in a space that has received media criticism for intrusive practices.

Over the years, the company has expanded its digital financial services platform and steadily ramped up its acquisitions. It bought mobile DSP company Dataset and is a bidding partner for in-app inventory on Google Ad Manager.

The Verve Group have made a significant footprint in the digital ad marketplace, having partnered with thousands of advertisers. The company continues pushing towards new and expanding markets as it builds a larger and stronger global technology stack.
