Role Overview
Tencent Advertising Marketing Solutions (AMS) is establishing a core engineering hub in Singapore to spearhead our overseas advertising data infrastructure. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to drive the development of our next-generation ad-data systems natively on AWS. This is not a simple migration; you will be building a high-scale ecosystem from the ground up. You will tackle the unique challenge of adapting high-concurrency advertising logic—such as real-time attribution and massive log processing—into a cloud-native environment while ensuring total data isolation and compliance for our global users.
Key Responsibilities
- Cloud-Native System Development: Architect and build high-concurrency advertising data services natively on AWS, utilizing EKS, MSK, and S3 to ensure a scalable and robust overseas infrastructure.
- Large-Scale Data Engineering: Design and implement real-time and batch processing pipelines using Flink, Spark, and HBase to handle massive ad-log flows and complex data attribution.
- Performance & Reliability Engineering: Drive system stability through proactive JVM/GC tuning and deep-dive troubleshooting of distributed system bottlenecks (CPU, Memory, I/O).
- High-Availability Architecture: Implement resilient strategies for data integration and processing to support mission-critical, 24/7 ad-tech operations with high traffic and low latency.
- Data Compliance & Governance: Develop technical solutions that enforce strict data isolation and regional compliance, ensuring overseas user data security and privacy in a multi-region deployment.
Technical Requirements
- Backend Expertise: 5+ years of experience in Java development, with deep knowledge of multithreading, JVM internals, and microservices.
- Big Data Stack: Proven track record in developing with Flink, Spark, and HBase in production environments.
- AWS Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with core AWS services, specifically EKS (Kubernetes), MSK (Kafka), and S3.
- Troubleshooting Skills: Expert at diagnosing and resolving performance issues such as OOM, CPU spikes, and GC tuning.
- System Design: Strong understanding of high-availability patterns, including circuit breaking, rate limiting, and distributed consistency.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in the AdTech industry (e.g., Attribution, Tracking, or RTB systems).
- Proficiency in leveraging AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT) to enhance engineering productivity, optimize code quality, and accelerate complex problem-solving.
- A passion for exploring new technologies and a proactive approach to solving complex engineering challenges.
- Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-border teams while maintaining independent development workflows.
