- Shape the architecture and evolution of a shared policy model, management service, APIs, and evaluation platform.
- Build intuitive authoring workflows that make complex policy rules understandable and safe to create, review, and change.
- Design versioned contracts and integration patterns that allow systems across the ads lifecycle to consume policy decisions consistently.
- Develop explainability and observability capabilities, including reason codes, decision traces, and operational metrics.
- Lead incremental migrations from localized policy logic to shared platform capabilities while protecting correctness and availability.
- Partner with Policy, Product, Design, Operations, and engineering teams to clarify requirements, resolve trade-offs, and deliver end-to-end outcomes.

- Experience interfacing with REST APIs and/or GraphQL endpoints
- Understanding of UX and UI design principles

- Comfort working through ambiguity. You can make progress with incomplete information, create clarity across disciplines, and revise decisions as the team learns.
- Strong knowledge of API design, data modeling, schema evolution.
- Strong written and verbal communication and a track record of effective collaboration across technical and non-technical teams.
- Experience with rules engines, policy or entitlement systems, authorization, risk platforms, or expression evaluation.
- Experience with Ads trust and safety, content moderation, regulatory compliance, or advertising technology.
- Experience building high-volume batch evaluation, low-latency decision systems, or multi-tenant platforms.
- Experience with migrating large-scale systems and handling backward compatibility.
