This includes managing the Search and Shopping Bidding systems (ML, optimization systems, new bid strategies and algorithms, data systems, and platforms) and launching both advertiser-facing bidding products and backend improvements.

In this role, you will work on building new algorithms and optimization layers, coming up with new product paths to pursue to drive more advertiser value, and go to market with new suites of ads product features.
