The Ads Serving team builds the most critical systems and infrastructure in our whole business that’s directly responsible for our multi-billion dollar revenue stream. More can be found here:https://blog.twitter.com/2016/resilient-ad-serving-at-twitter-scale
Context, responsibilities, and challenges:Twitter is synonymous with staggering scale. Hundreds of millions of users use our service every single day, generating huge amounts of traffic, often in an unpredictable manner. Advertisers seize these opportunities and react quickly to reach their target audience in real time, resulting in demand surges in the marketplace. In the midst of such variability, Twitter’s ad server — our revenue engine — performs ad matching, scoring, and ad serving at an immense scale.
We face a set of daunting challenges: Process tens of billions of ad requests, serve billions of ads both on- and off-Twitter with tight latency constraints, be highly available (four-nines+), be resilient to massive query spikes, reliably deliver the highest quality ads possible for every query, and do all of this at minimal cost (optimal resource utilization). Our ad serving engine is built to take on these challenges.
In addition, we also build systems that process ad spend information in real-time. The “live-spend pipeline”, which works hand-in-hand with serving, is also a massively scalable system that processes impressions, clicks and engagements using real time stream processing technologies, and provides data to the serving, billing, and advertiser-analytics systems.
In order to achieve all this, we use state of the art open-source and proprietary technologies, and build some of the world’s largest and most complex distributed systems. If you are passionate about building such world-class systems, we invite you to join our team!
