About LG Ad Solutions
LG Ad Solutions is a global leader in connected TV (CTV) and cross-screen advertising. We deliver innovative advertising solutions that integrate seamlessly with today’s evolving digital media landscape, powering targeted advertising, measurement, and data-driven decision-making across our global CTV ecosystem.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our engineering team in Bangalore, India. In this role, you will drive the architecture, design, and development of large-scale ad serving, measurement, targeting, and data engineering systems that power LG Ad Solutions’ global advertising platform.
As a senior technical leader, you will own critical technical initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams, establish architectural direction, and drive the delivery of highly scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient distributed systems. You will work closely with engineering, product, and operations teams across geographies, providing technical leadership and collaborating with teams in the US and India to deliver high-impact solutions.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an engineer who combines deep software engineering expertise with strong architectural judgment, a track record of solving complex engineering problems, and the ability to influence technical decisions across teams. You will also mentor senior engineers, establish engineering best practices, and help shape the long-term technical roadmap of LG Ad Solutions.
Responsibilities
Technical Leadership and Architecture: Define and drive the architecture of large-scale, distributed software systems, making critical technical decisions around scalability, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
System Design and Scalability: Design and evolve high-throughput ad serving, targeting, measurement, and data processing systems capable of handling large data volumes and demanding latency requirements.
End-to-End Technical Ownership: Lead complex, cross-team engineering initiatives from problem definition and requirements gathering through architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
Distributed Systems and Data Engineering: Drive the design and optimization of big data applications and distributed computing platforms, improving processing efficiency, resource utilization, and infrastructure cost.
Technical Strategy and Roadmap: Partner with engineering leadership and product teams to define technical strategy, identify architectural gaps, establish long-term roadmaps, and align engineering investments with business priorities.
Engineering Excellence: Establish and champion best practices for software design, code quality, testing, observability, operational readiness, and production reliability.
Cross-Team Influence: Collaborate across engineering teams and organizational boundaries to resolve complex technical challenges, align architectural decisions, and drive consistent engineering standards.
Mentorship and Technical Development: Mentor senior and junior engineers, guide design and code reviews, and help develop technical leadership within the organization.
Performance and Reliability: Identify and resolve system bottlenecks, improve service-level objectives, and lead initiatives that enhance throughput, latency, fault tolerance, and overall system resilience.
Platform Integrations: Lead the design and implementation of integrations with internal and external platforms to expand advertising targeting, measurement, and data capabilities.
Global Collaboration: Work closely with engineering teams in the US and India to drive successful project execution, share technical knowledge, and ensure alignment across distributed teams.
