  • Set technical direction for the team — the architecture, the roadmap, and the bets we make on emerging tech (Iceberg, StarRocks, GPU Spark, dbt, AI tooling)
  • Own the production health and reliability of the main Taboola data pipeline — the system behind reports, ML model training, billing, and other business-critical processes
  • Grow your engineers: coach, mentor, run 1:1s, give honest feedback, and create the conditions for senior engineers to do their best work
  • Prioritize ruthlessly across competing demands from algo, product, finance, and infrastructure stakeholders — and say no when you need to
  • Drive cross-team alignment: partner with peer team leaders, group managers, and principal engineers to shape how the platform evolves across R&D
  • Upscale your team with AI: introduce agent-based workflows, measure their impact on velocity, and make your team a model for how engineering at Taboola changes in the AI era
  • Evolve our Spark SQL platform (60,000+ jobs/day) and the core framework code used across R&D — making the call on what gets built, refactored, or retired
  • Stay hands-on (~30–40% of your time) — enough to make sound technical decisions, review designs and code with authority, and unblock the team when it matters
