internal platform systems that power our digital advertising, data, and marketing products. This role is accountable for building scalable, reliable, and extensible platform capabilities that enable product innovation, operational efficiency, and long-term growth across the organization.
This leader owns the

technical product leadership, deep partnership with Engineering, and a pragmatic approach to applying
AI and automation to real business and data problems.
