ppBidMachine's UA business unit is looking for an experienced bHead of Product Engineering /b to own the technical and product vision of our demand-side platform (DSP) — the engine that runs managed-service campaigns for advertisers today, with a self-service version on our roadmap. /p pYou will unify Data Science, Data Engineering, Data Analytics, BI, and our bidding/prediction stack into a single, coherent product, replacing today's fragmented workflow with one clear roadmap and one set of aligned decisions. This is a hands‑on leadership role: you'll sit above our Data Science function, work daily with our go-to-market and sales leadership, and carry direct influence over how we compete with the handful of full‑stack players (exchange + mediation + DSP) in this industry. /p pbLocation: /b Barcelona, Spain /p h3Responsibilities: /h3 ul liOwn the end-to-end technical and product roadmap for the UA DSP, from bidding and prediction through to reporting and BI. /li liUnify Data Science, Data Engineering, Data Analytics, BI, and backend engineering (predictor/bidder) into one product function with consistent, aligned decision‑making. /li liLead, grow, and mentor a team of roughly 20 across engineering, data science, and analytics; accelerate the growth of the existing Data Science function. /li liPartner closely with the Go-to-Market/Revenue lead and Head of Sales to translate market opportunities into technical feasibility assessments and vice versa. /li liDrive the long‑term transition from managed‑service to self‑service tooling for advertisers.
