About the team:

The mission of the Auction Logic team is to create the digital marketplace with a purpose of accurately connecting advertisers (buyers) and publishers (sellers) in the most effective and efficient way possible. The team is responsible for building and operating a set of core components of Monetize real-time platform, specifically the distributed set of servers that runs an auction for every ad impression, delivers the ad content, and performs all the necessary accounting. The Monetize real-time platform is a large-scale distributed platform operating under strict real-time constraints, responding to and executing real-time, dynamic auctions in less than 100 milliseconds. In the past few years, we've grown from processing 300k QPS to over 5 million QPS for an approximate total of 100 billion requests per day. These events generate more than 150 TB of new data every day. Engineers work on the real-time components to optimize our software for performance, space, and algorithmic efficiency. The application that processes all those requests, impression bus, is among the responsibilities of the Auction Logic team. You will provide solutions to help connect advertisers and publishers in the digital marketplace as well as resolve complex technical issues that arise because of the immense scale of our platform.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
