Senior AdOps Engineer (Germany, Remote, m, d, f)

YOUR MISSION

We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Senior AdOps Engineer to take ownership of the daily operations, monitoring, and troubleshooting of our digital advertising platform. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll ensure the health, stability, and performance of our ad delivery systems - working across DSPs, SSPs, cloud infrastructure and high-availability server environments to keep everything running smoothly.

You won’t be writing code, but you’ll be deeply involved in debugging, investigating issues, managing our Linux-based environments, and supporting internal and external stakeholders. You'll act as the first line of defence when platform-level issues occur, going beyond campaign-level fixes to address root causes and system-wide challenges.

You’ll collaborate with Product, Engineering, and external partners to ensure ads are delivered accurately, at scale, and with optimal performance. A deep understanding of digital advertising technologies and infrastructure is key.

The ideal candidate brings a strong background in AdOps or AdTech systems, solid Linux administration experience, a service-oriented mindset, and a passion for operational excellence.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Take full ownership of the day-to-day operation of our digital advertising platform, ensuring smooth delivery and performance across all ad types.

• Monitor, investigate, and resolve system-wide issues across DSPs, SSPs, and other ad delivery components.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across engineering, product, and external vendors to troubleshoot and resolve platform or campaign-related problems.

• Manage and maintain Linux-based systems supporting our ad infrastructure.

• Utilize AWS and other cloud tools for infrastructure monitoring, log analysis, and operational debugging.

• Monitor and ensure the high availability of platform services.

• Administer relational databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL.

• Understand and improve the overall system architecture to prevent future issues and optimize performance.

• Act as a technical liaison for cross-functional teams, ensuring platform reliability and uptime goals are met.

• Document processes, playbooks, and known issues to support knowledge-sharing and faster issue resolution.

• Provide feedback and insights to product and engineering teams on recurring platform problems and potential improvements.

• Familiarity with managing relational databases such as MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL
• Familiarity with AWS and cloud-based infrastructure, including monitoring, networking, and basic service management.
