At Digital Turbine, we make mobile advertising experiences more meaningful and rewarding for users, app publishers, and advertisers - intelligently connecting people in more ways, across more devices.

Please note that Digital Turbine is a hybrid work environment-only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.

Digital Turbine runs on small, autonomous pods that own outcomes and roadmaps end-to-end. We hire leaders who balance strong technical judgment with people-first management: leaders who can guide team execution, foster engineering excellence, and hire and grow top talent without getting bogged down in language-specific dogma.

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will lead full-stack engineering pods responsible for building the product surfaces that bring our marketplace together-campaign management, unified dashboards, audience tooling, and low-latency supply/demand APIs. You will partner directly with Product Management, Design, and Engineering Directors to align roadmaps, drive high-throughput backend architecture, and maintain operational health across a polyglot stack. While this is primarily a people and delivery leadership role, a strong background in low-latency systems, algorithmic problem-solving, and scalable web surfaces is essential for technical coaching and system design oversight.

About the Software Engineering Manager:

• People Leadership: Direct-manage a team of Senior, Mid-level and Junior Full Stack Engineers across front-end, back-end, and data domains. Conduct 1:1s, guide career development, handle performance management, and foster an inclusive, high-ownership engineering culture.

• Execution & Delivery: Partner with Product Leads to translate business goals into clear technical roadmaps, scoping, and sprint execution. Ensure pods consistently deliver robust, reliable product surfaces on time.

• Technical Oversight: Drive high architectural and quality standards across the team. Coach engineers on API design, service scalability, pushing heavy computational logic to backend services, and front-end performance.

• Hiring & Team Growth: Lead recruitment efforts to scale the pod, recruiting diverse, top-tier engineering talent and building out sustainable team onboarding processes.

• Operational Excellence: Ensure overall health, observability, and performance of services owned by your pods. Drive incident management, post-mortems, and equitable on-call practices.

• Strategic Alignment: Serve as the primary engineering advocate for your pods, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders and aligning pod delivery with Digital Turbine's broader architecture and business strategy.

About you as the Software Engineering Manager:

• Experience: 2+ years of direct people management experience leading software engineering teams, coupled with 8+ years of hands-on software development experience building high-scale, production platforms.

• Technical Breadth: Strong background in full-stack architecture, with a heavy emphasis on distributed back-end systems, API design, data modeling, and low-latency performance. Familiarity with polyglot environments (e.g., TypeScript/React on the front end; Java, Kotlin, Go, Python, or C++ on the back end).

• Leadership Capabilities: Proven track record in mentoring senior/staff engineers, navigating complex technical trade-offs, and resolving cross-pod dependencies.

• Process & Delivery: Deep comfort with modern Agile methodologies, CI/CD practices, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and operational metrics (SLAs, SLOs, system health).

• Radford Leveling Alignment: Fits an M3 Manager level-demonstrating capability in managing operational/tactical execution, influencing pod-level strategy, and owning performance and career growth for direct reports.

Nice to Have Skills:

• Experience in AdTech, high-throughput marketplaces, or data-intensive dashboard surfaces.

• Background managing distributed/remote teams across international time zones (US, Europe, Israel).

• Experience integrating data pipelines, machine learning, or BI tools into product workflows.
