Solution Architect (AdTech domain)

Summary

CHI Software seeks a Solution Architect to design and oversee AdTech platforms — RTB pipelines, header bidding, SSP/DSP integrations, identity and analytics — driving architectural decisions, leading discovery and pre-sales, and mentoring engineers. Requires 7+ years in software development, strong distributed-systems skills, and proficiency in C++, Go, Rust, or Node.js.

We are seeking a highly skilled Solution Architect to drive design and delivery of cutting-edge AdTech platforms and innovations.

By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of AdTech initiatives that span programmatic advertising, real-time bidding, identity resolution, predictive analytics, and measurement. These projects are focused on developing advanced, high-value technical solutions that help our clients scale, grow, and evolve.

This role is well-suited for those who bring strong architectural thinking skills, experience with high-performance distributed systems, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear ideas for diverse audiences. The environment is dynamic and collaborative, with daily interaction between engineers, PMs, data experts, product owners, and customer stakeholders who work together to build innovative solutions.

The responsibilities include guiding teams, driving architectural decisions, supporting pre-sales activities, leading discovery phases, evaluating technologies, and introducing forward-thinking approaches to address sophisticated AdTech challenges. This position involves working with mission-critical platforms that operate under extreme performance requirements, such as low latency, high load, and large volumes of data.

Requirements
7+ years of experience in software development
3+ years in a technical leadership or architecture role
Strong proficiency in at least one of the following languages: C++, Golang, Rust, or Node.js
Proven experience designing and building high-load, low-latency, and scalable cloud platforms
Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, etc.)
Successful track record in consulting engagements, pre-sales activities, and client-facing presentations
Strong understanding of distributed systems, performance optimization, messaging, caching, and API design
Advanced level of English

Would be a plus
