Job Description

Senior Software Development Engineer - Web (Ads)

Job Summary: As a Senior Engineer within the Ads Platform, you will be responsible for building the sophisticated systems that power JioHotstar’s multi-crore advertising business. Unlike consumer-facing apps, your challenge lies in building high-performance, data-rich interfaces for advertisers, sales teams, and ops managers to create, manage, and optimize complex ad campaigns and adsets at scale. You will bridge the gap between complex backend ad-logic and a seamless, intuitive operational workflow. 

About the team:  JioStar’s Ad Platform is among the top video advertising platforms in India - and we’re aiming higher. With deep expertise across Video-On-Demand, Live Sports, and Ad Monetization, our vision is to build the most effective and scalable adtech ecosystem in the world.Our engineering team builds across the full adtech stack - from high-throughput backend services to deeply integrated, high-impact ad experiences on client platforms. Name a technology, and chances are we’ve worked with it. But more than the tools, it’s the problems we solve that make the work exciting.If you’re excited about building fast, learning continuously, and working on a product that sits at the center of content, monetization, and user experience, we’d love to talk.

What will you do?

  • End-to-End Ownership: Lead the design and implementation of complex workflows for campaign creation, adset configuration, and real-time performance monitoring.
  • B2B UX Excellence: Translate complex business requirements into high-density, performant web interfaces that make "heavy lifting" feel effortless for power users.
  • System Integration: Collaborate with backend and data teams to ensure frontend systems accurately reflect real-time inventory, pricing, and delivery metrics.
  • Tooling & Automation: Build internal tools that automate manual ops tasks, reducing "time-to-live" for new ad campaigns.
  • Performance & Scale: Ensure the web platform remains responsive even when handling massive data tables, complex filtering, and bulk-edit operations.
  • Mentorship: Lead code reviews and mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of "operational excellence" where a bug in an internal tool could mean significant revenue impact.

    • Who should apply for this role?

  • Strong experience in the JavaScript language.
  • Deep knowledge about how browsers work
  • Deep understanding about design & architecture patterns
  • Highly enthusiastic and enjoy learning new technologies and frameworks
  • You know why a framework is necessary and know React or Next.
