About the role

AppsFlyer is a global leader in marketing measurement, attribution and data collaboration. Its Engagement team owns OneLink, the deep linking and attribution link platform that resolves links in ads, social posts, emails and QR codes and redirects users to the right app store, app or in-app screen. The team sits at the front of the ingestion path, handling millions of requests per second globally. It is looking for a hands-on Software Team Leader to own the architecture, delivery and production health of the OneLink serving path.

• Lead, mentor and grow a team of senior backend engineers, covering hiring, career growth and honest feedback, while staying hands-on in architecture, design reviews and code.
• Own the end-to-end design of the OneLink serving path.
• Own the edge layer with Infra, including CDN strategy across branded and non-branded domains and edge compute.
• Own production, including SLOs, capacity and cost efficiency at scale, and take part in the on-call rotation.
• Partner with Product, Data and Infra to turn ambiguous requirements into a sequenced technical plan.

Required profile

• 5+ years of software development experience with strong backend engineering skills.
• 2+ years directly managing a team of software engineers, including hiring, performance and growth conversations.
• Proven track record designing, building and operating high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems.
• B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Required skills

• AWS (or GCP/Azure) and modern deployment practices, including containers, Kubernetes, IaC and CI/CD.
• Hands-on depth in at least one of Go, Clojure, Node or Java, and willingness to work across all of them.
• Relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL/caching (DynamoDB, MongoDB, Redis/ElastiCache).
• Kafka or equivalent, including partitioning, consumer groups, ordering, backpressure and lag.

Bonus points: deep linking and mobile attribution experience, CDN and edge-compute work (CloudFront Functions, CloudFlare Workers, WAF), functional programming (Clojure, Scala, Erlang/Elixir), AdTech background and a track record of cost efficiency at scale.
