This role is responsible for designing systems that scale across channels and adapt as privacy landscapes shift.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the technical roadmap for the performance marketing platform, defining the highest-impact investments across attribution, bidding, budget optimization, and campaign management
- Drive hands-on engineering across ad platform integrations, event pipelines, and production systems that deploy and measure marketing spend

- Develop systems that automate and optimize bidding strategies and campaign experimentation at scale
- Drive cross-team technical initiatives with ads platform, data warehouse, and mobile teams — authoring design documents and building alignment across engineering orgs
- Own system reliability and operational health for spend-critical systems where downtime or bugs have
