We are looking for a talented backend developer to join the Alice chat interface development team. The key task is to create a technological solution for embedding ads into chats with Alice.

Currently, there are no truly successful solutions in the world for seamlessly integrating ads into chatbots. Existing methods significantly degrade the user experience in conversational interfaces. Therefore, there is now an ambitious task to implement new approaches to advertising in chat interfaces.

What tasks await you

Designing the architecture for ad integration in chats You will develop and implement architectural solutions for integrating ad formats into chat interfaces, taking into account user experience and product requirements.

Performance and scalability optimization The task includes ensuring stable service operation under high load (millions of users), as well as optimizing the system in terms of response speed and efficient resource utilization.

Ensuring security and data confidentiality It is necessary to establish processes and solutions that guarantee the protection of user data when working with advertising scenarios, ensuring compliance with security and privacy requirements.

Cross-functional collaboration with teams The work involves close interaction with frontend, ML, and product management teams to create a cohesive user experience.
