What you will do

• Lead and grow a cross-functional squad of engineers and data scientists across problem framing, production delivery, adoption, coaching, feedback, hiring, and goal setting.
• Own the full budgeting lifecycle, from quarterly allocation to daily campaign-level bid and budget decisions.
• Develop payback-based allocation models, including CLV estimation and constrained optimization, and consolidate fragmented tools into a single budgeting platform.
• Shape technical strategy, architecture, prioritization, reliability, data quality, testing, monitoring, documentation, and reproducibility.
• Partner with Product Managers, marketing, finance, analytics, and platform stakeholders to define scope, trade-offs, timelines, and measurable goals.
• Make clear recommendations under imperfect measurement and translate modeling and system behavior for non-technical audiences.

Requirements

• Strong technical depth in either software engineering or ML/MLOps/data science, with the ability to ramp up quickly on the other area.
• Strong backend experience building scalable, reliable production applications used daily, or deep expertise across the ML lifecycle and its tooling ecosystem.
• Proven experience leading and mentoring engineers and/or data scientists, growing individuals, and taking accountability for a large-scale production service.
• Experience mediating and resolving conflict while acknowledging different perspectives and building shared understanding.
• Experience delivering scalable, reliable applications with data science modeling at their centre, where model output is the product.
• Comfort with modular design, testing, CI/CD, monitoring, version control, and modern data/ML stacks.
• Ability to evaluate business value against technical feasibility, turn complex requirements into deliverable work, and understand relevant business metrics and marketplace optimization.
• Experience building new solutions from scratch, setting measurable team goals, and operating proactively without a clearly defined problem statement.

Nice to have
