Partners with Product, Design, Data Science, Operations, and Engineering teams to deliver scalable, reliable, secure, privacy-conscious products. Oversees distributed systems and product experiences, drives execution across strategic initiatives, develops engineering talent, hires leaders, and communicates priorities and risks to senior stakeholders.

Build and scale Java backend services, recommendation infrastructure, and data-processing pipelines for Taboola’s performance advertising platform. Design reliable microservices, search and event-driven systems handling billions of events and terabytes of data. Own services end to end, including production monitoring, incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement. Collaborate with product and architecture teams, manage integration projects, mentor engineers, and use AI-assisted development tools.

Build and operate a distributed telemetry data platform for ingest, processing, indexing, compression, storage, and query. Design APIs, horizontal scaling, fault tolerance, multi-environment deployments, customer data isolation, and high-performance systems supporting petabytes of data and millions of series. Engineers own projects from design through release and operations while solving complex distributed-systems challenges on a small founding team.

Design, build, and maintain blockchain and payments infrastructure; develop scalable microservices and secure RESTful APIs to transfer value across blockchain and banking protocols; integrate with banks and fintech; own system design, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting; ensure reliability, code quality, and strong test coverage while collaborating with product and engineering teams.

Lead end-to-end flight software development for autonomous spacecraft, including mission operations tools, ground services, embedded vehicle software, telemetry, commanding, testing, simulation, and flight readiness. Collaborate with avionics, propulsion, GNC, and systems teams to define interfaces and data models. Support CI/CD, software- and hardware-in-the-loop testing, environmental testing, and flight campaigns in a fast-moving, on-site aerospace startup environment.

Develop and maintain physics-based space and missile defense models, engagement and mission simulations, and analysis tools using Python and C++. Integrate simulations into SIL, HIL, and distributed environments; perform verification, validation, Monte Carlo studies, and data correlation. Collaborate with engineering and government stakeholders on requirements, testing, and technical recommendations. The role requires aerospace or related experience, knowledge of orbital mechanics or missile trajectories, and eligibility for Secret or TS/SCI clearance.

Own and define Dubsado’s data infrastructure strategy, including pipelines, warehouse reliability, analytical modeling, data quality, observability, and tooling standards. Build scalable data systems, collaborate with engineering, product, and business teams, and support AI agents, customer-facing features, and internal users. Serve as the initial dedicated data specialist, operating autonomously while gradually distributing data quality ownership across engineering.

Own the architecture and stability of a shared core 3D CAD engine supporting multiple customer-specific products. Translate product requirements into scalable architecture, guide agentic software development, review AI-generated work, and lead customer-facing product engineering and enhancements. Collaborate across human and agent teams while maintaining mission-critical capabilities and supporting agentically generated designs.
