    Job description

    Who We Are

    Verve has created a more efficient and privacy-focused way to buy and monetize advertising. Verve is an ecosystem of demand and supply technologies fusing data, media, and technology together to deliver results and growth to both advertisers and publishers–no matter the screen or location, no matter who, what, or where a customer is. With 30 offices across the globe and with an eye on servicing forward-thinking advertising customers, Verve’s solutions are trusted by more than 90 of the United States’ top 100 advertisers, 4,000 publishers globally, and the world’s top demand-side platforms.

    What You Will Do

    • Lead the technical design, architecture, and implementation of complex, high-throughput components for the core ad exchange platform.
    • Write exceptionally optimized, highly concurrent code (Go or Java), taking ownership of system performance where every millisecond counts.
    • Act as a technical pillar for the Dublin team: mentor mid-level/junior engineers, elevate code quality through PR reviews, and set engineering standards.
    • Take end-to-end ownership of critical services-from initial system design and agentic-assisted coding workflows, through to CI/CD deployment and production monitoring.
    • Partner closely with the Engineering Manager and product stakeholders to translate high-level business requirements into scalable, robust technical architecture.
    • Drive operational excellence by proactively identifying bottlenecks, optimizing infrastructure footprint, and leading complex incident resolutions.

    What You Will Bring

    • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong focus on distributed backend systems.
    • Deep expertise in system-level or strongly typed languages (Go or Java), with advanced knowledge of concurrency, memory management, and performance profiling.
    • Proven track record of architecting and scaling high-throughput, low-latency applications.
    • Extensive hands-on experience with Cloud Computing platforms (GCP, AWS) and container orchestration at scale (Kubernetes, Docker).
    • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD), IaC (Terraform), and modern observability stacks (Grafana, ELK).
    • Practical experience using and advocating for agentic-assisted development tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) to increase team velocity.
    • Bonus: Deep domain experience in Ad-Tech, FinTech, High-Frequency Trading, or other environments handling tens of thousands of requests per second.

    What We Offer

    • Stay healthy and covered with our comprehensive Health, Life, and Income Protection Insurances
    • Save on everyday travels with our TaxSaver Commuter tickets
    • Recharge with 23 paid vacation days + 3 Wellness days throughout the year, in addition to the public holidays
    • Support your mental well-being with our Workplace Mental Health Solution
    • Boost your professional knowledge with our annual training budget & internal webinars
    • … and even more reasons to join us!
