This role oversees the development of world-class advertising products that enable merchants and brands to create and manage ads in self-serve and programmatic formats across Deliveroo, DoorDash, and Wolt platforms.
You will lead multiple engineering teams including software engineers, ML engineers, and software managers, owning the full advertising funnel from advertiser onboarding through programmatic campaign management to end-to-end measurement solutions. The role is based in London with a hybrid setup (typically 3 days in office) and positions you as a single-threaded leader for the EMEA Ads organization.
Key responsibilities include: building and scaling distributed backend and front-end systems for advertising; hiring, growing, and nurturing high-impact teams; developing scalable products and engineering vision/strategy for multiple teams; mentoring and guiding the organization in architectural patterns and vendor decisions; planning long-term strategy and engineering excellence; collaborating cross-functionally with stakeholders and peer leaders; balancing short-term delivery with strategic objectives; and ensuring reliability and quality across all team deliverables.
You should have extensive experience in software engineering and large-scale distributed systems; proven track record hiring and growing teams from 0-1 and managing through senior leaders; exceptional communication and leadership skills in fast-moving environments; hands-on approach to infrastructure and technical execution; customer obsession across consumers, riders, and merchants; and adaptability in ambiguous, fast-paced settings. Ad-tech experience is a nice-to-have.
