Who you are

- Experience working on ads quality, traffic quality, search quality, feed quality, or adjacent quality-focused systems

- Lead vertically focused quality initiatives from concept through launch, measurement, and iteration
- Own problems end to end, from identifying advertiser pain points to driving cross-functional execution across the stack
- Partner closely with Product, Data Science, Engineering, TPM, Sales, Marketing, and other stakeholders to ensure solutions are technically strong and commercially impactful
- Translate customer and market needs into product and engineering priorities
- Step into ambiguous, fast-moving situations and improvise effectively when new constraints or opportunities emerge
- Represent the technical and product context for key advertisers, helping internal teams and external partners align on how to improve performance
- Contribute hands-on across Moloco’s stack, with exposure to areas such as bidding logic, advertiser-facing product surfaces, and quality systems
- Help incubate new ideas, run experiments, and turn successful vertical learnings into scalable product capabilities
