The ideal candidate will work closely with Engineering, Product, Data Science, Applied Science, Design, Sales, and Marketing Science to define a long-term roadmap for measuring advertiser outcomes. Key responsibilities include improving measurement architecture across web, mobile app, and offline signals, applying AI to enhance resilience and explainability tools, and creating shared primitives used by optimization and external APIs. The role requires strong distributed systems expertise, product judgment, and the ability to influence cross-functionally. Preferred qualifications include familiarity with signal loss challenges, experience partnering with data scientists on measurement methodologies, and a track record of building advertiser-facing systems prioritizing trust and explainability.

What you'll do

  • Drive initiatives to enhance conversion measurement architecture across various platforms.
  • Apply AI to detect signal loss and boost measurement resilience.
  • Develop diagnostics and explainability tools using AI for advertisers and internal teams.
  • Enhance experimentation, lift, and incrementality capabilities within the platform.
  • Create shared measurement primitives for optimization, reporting, and external APIs.
  • Lead ecosystem integrations including Conversion APIs and partner measurement hooks.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with significant senior individual contributor leadership
  • Strong track record in defining architecture and driving execution across multiple teams
  • Expertise in ads or measurement-related domains like attribution, conversion tracking, experimentation
  • Ability to navigate between high-level strategy and low-level technical details effectively
  • Excellent communication skills for aligning cross-functional stakeholders
  • Familiarity with challenges such as browser signal loss, event quality, deduplication, delayed conversions
  • Experience building advertiser-facing systems requiring explainability and trust
