Overview
The Application Reliability Engineer plays a critical role in driving platform and partner reliability within the Application Reliability team, directly influencing how quickly and accurately we detect, triage, and resolve issues across TripleLift's Exchange.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to build deep, hands-on expertise across the programmatic ecosystem, take full ownership of technical problems, and grow into broader solutions leadership while contributing directly to the trust our partners place in TripleLift's platform.

- Communicate structured updates across squads, and write clear incident notes, runbooks, and validation summaries.
- Propose and help build targeted automations and workflow improvements (monitoring tweaks, ticket templates, validation scripts) that reduce repetitive, manual work.
- Own integration validation for new partners and products, troubleshoot discrepancies during UAT, and partner with Integrations and Engineering teams to unblock launches.
- Use strong SQL and log analytics/APM tooling to debug DSP/SSP and tag/pixel workflows, and validate REST and OpenRTB API payloads.

- Identify root causes for common issues (mismatched macros, tag misfires, reporting lags, basic integration breaks) using structured debugging methods.

- Experience validating REST APIs and troubleshooting tag/pixel implementations.
- Ability to read code and write small scripts or queries to support analysis and debugging.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
