What does the SRE team do?
SRE is a key part of a closely coupled autonomous engineering team that work together to solve the business
problems.There are multiple SRE teams that catering to our business in the Ad-tech space. A few of our Ad-tech
products include domain monetization, contextual monetization, Ad quality , Ad exchange, Programmatic
Advertising, etc. One of the teams is responsible for maintaining the brains behind our contextual advertising
systems. Similarly, another team works on building a real time Ad Quality system which provides various real time
bidding metrics and real-time ad-display decisions.

Each SRE team gets to work on breadth of applications, from low latency high throughput web serving to large
scale data systems

The SRE team has carefully crafted an internal platform that allows controlled, but speedy innovation while
crunching a quarter billion messages a day, and leveraging multiple state-of-the-art algorithms, to serve the best

To support this platform, our infra strives to be an industry standard: Maintaining high availability and reliability,
while allowing our distributed applications to serve tens of terabytes of information every hour. We make use of
open-source technologies on commodity hardware and scale them beyond the scope and scale of enterprise
solutions, hosted in public cloud and co-located datacentres.
