Role
Who you are
- You are a passionate developer, interested in low-latency/large-scale back-end systems but you are also eager to understand and implement product and business requirements
- You are proficient in at least one programming language such as C#, Scala, Java, C++. You can adapt very quickly, choose and use the best tool for the job
- You love algorithms and new technology. You are also a great team worker and a great communicator in English, both written and spoken. You are strongly committed to quality designs, automated testing and documentation
- At Criteo, we believe the future is wide open when it includes everyone. We are committed to creating an environment where all Criteos feel a sense of belonging. We nourish our diversity by listening to all cultures within Criteo - and there are many. We are proud to be a global team and conscious that it takes people with different perspectives, thoughts and cultures to succeed. We want you to come as you are so we can succeed together
What the job involves
- CRITEO is looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our dynamic team at the heart of Criteo's business!
- Build business-critical APIs, services and backend components that for some have to answer in less than 30ms, and at very large scale (up to 300 Bn requests per day)
- Work with many other engineering teams to develop long-term roadmaps, designs and architectures to scale this infrastructure to meet product and business requirements
- Develop open source projects. As we are working at the forefront of technology, we are dealing with problems that few companies have faced
- Most of all, we are creators. From designing ground-breaking products to finding unique ways to solve technical challenges at an exceptional scale, our tech teams work with state of the art methodologies to shape the future of advertising
- In the R&D department you will build the products that make Criteo tick: from developing industry leading machine learning techniques, to building high scale/low latency real-time applications (over 5M qps, handling over 300 Bn HTTP requests daily), to delivering first class client interfaces, both API and UI, with forward-thinking UX at their core, all using state of the art technology
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Commerce marketing is a huge business with billions of pounds spent every year on adverts. Companies that help businesses create and deliver more targeted adverts can command a lot of value. Criteo is one company operating in this space.
Criteo is a personalized retargeting company connects 22,000+ marketers and media owners through its Commerce Media Platform, delivering richer consumer experiences. Criteo uses machine-learning technology and data to drive performance, helping marketers and media owners reach their goals.
As marketers are increasingly looking for commerce media solutions, Criteo is operating in a sought-after space. Further, around 73% of media owners seek to optimise media performance as a way to both generate awareness and drive revenue, meaning the company has a significant potential client base. Criteo has continued to make headway here, driving 5 billion ads per day, and is well set to see further adoption of its platform.
