Employer job description
From PubMatic's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About the Role
PubMatic is seeking an experienced and technically strong Principal Software Engineer to lead the design and development of next-generation Mobile App Monetization capabilities. This role is focused on building high-performance, low-latency, scalable, and privacy-safe systems that help maximize publisher revenue from in-app inventory while improving DSP and buyer spend efficiency.
The role requires a deep understanding of mobile app advertising, SSP-DSP RTB workflows, OpenRTB mobile signals, SDK/mediation integrations, traffic shaping, QPS optimization, mobile attribution, privacy constraints, and performance advertising. The engineer will work on systems that monetize mobile formats such as rewarded video, interstitial, native, banner, app-open, playable, and video ads.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned backend engineer with strong ad-tech domain expertise and experience building real-time auction, targeting, decisioning, and optimization systems. You will work closely with Product, Data Science, Marketplace Quality, DSP Partnerships, Publisher teams, and SRE to build ML-integrated and data-driven monetization systems that improve yield, bid rate, win rate, fill rate, attribution readiness, latency, and reliability across PubMatic’s mobile app ecosystem.
