About the Role

Moloco is a machine learning company operating at massive scale (we ingest 10 petabytes of training data per day) and our models are blazingly fast (returning predictions in 10 milliseconds or less); and a profitable unicorn (we're valued at $2B & been profitable for the last 13 quarters). 

On the data platform team, you’d be owning near-real-time big data processing. We’re seeking a data infrastructure expert to act as tech lead manager (TLM), guiding our team as we grow. 

What you'll do

• Act as tech lead -- managing projects and mentoring peers
• Turn unstructured logs, messages, and events into structured data that can be utilized for analytics, machine learning, and more
• Implement backend data pipelines for manipulating and managing big data
• Optimize data processing pipelines with different goals including latency, cost, and throughput
• Improve existing data pipelines in terms of scalability and efficiency
• Design and implement fraud prevention/detection algorithms through analyzing complex time-series data
• Collaborate with other engineers at Moloco to build the best mobile advertising platform in the world

What you'll need to succeed

• BS in Computer Science or related fields (MS preferred)
• Leadership experience -- time spent as a TLM or TL on a large scale project
• Management experience -- we're seeking someone who can optimize each team member's strengths and apply their skills in the right place
• Desire to still be hands on, working alongside the rest of the data platform team and adding value to complex projects
• 10 years of hands-on industry experience in software development
• Excellent software development skills and fluency in at least one programming language (preferably Java, Go, or Python)
• Outstanding problem-solving skills
• Bias for action; ability to inspire a team
• Experience in Cloud/Big Data platforms (e.g., AWS, GCE, Beam, Spark, etc.) 
• Experience in distributed computing/MapReduce
