The right candidate will possess a strong engineering leadership background, will have demonstrated experience building and operating large-scale data and ads systems, and will have a well-rounded understanding of advertising, causal inference, and privacy-constrained computation. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level technical strategy, but can also roll up your sleeves, dive deep into system designs, and unblock your teams when it matters.
You set technical direction, define system architectures, partner deeply with scientists to translate research into production-grade systems, and build engineering organizations that deliver at high velocity. You will work directly with product managers, scientists, and cross-functional teams to define solutions that balance measurement precision with system latency, privacy constraints, and advertiser trust. You drive prioritization, make build-vs-buy decisions, own operational excellence for mission-critical systems, and develop engineering talent across multiple locations.
You will also drive AI-native development practices across your organization, leveraging agentic AI tooling to accelerate engineering velocity, automate operational workflows, and fundamentally rethink how measurement systems are built and maintained. We expect leaders in this role to be hands-on adopters who push their teams toward AI-augmented development as the default.
