Director of Technology, Ad Tech – AI-First Platform

Newsweek; New York (NY); Remote; USD 130.000 - 210.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Newsweek is seeking a Director of Technology to lead engineering execution across Adprime's platform. You will shape technical strategy with the CTPO and own turning that strategy into delivered software through a distributed team.

This is not a process-management role. You will evaluate architecture proposals, reject weak designs with a better alternative, and produce solutions when needed. Your leverage comes from judgment and delivering the right ships.

Qualifikationen

• 8+ years in software engineering; 3+ years leading teams.
• Hands-on with ad-tech systems: bidders, exchanges, SSPs, or ad servers.
• Knowledge of OpenRTB and ad-ecosystem standards.
• Strong data engineering fluency: high-volume pipelines and AWS.
• Experience managing distributed/offshore teams across time zones.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Aufgaben

• Partner with CTPO on strategy and translate into architecture proposals and plans.
• Review designs; approve, refine, or provide clear alternatives.
• Own end-to-end delivery: sprint planning, scope control, timelines.
• Lead a distributed team of nine engineers across backend, full stack, data, QA, and ML.
• Establish progress reporting so leadership knows what ships and what is at risk.
• Raise engineering bar: design quality, code review discipline, docs and tests.
• Collaborate with product management to turn requirements into engineering work.
• Champion AI-assisted development practices across the team.
