About the Role

The AI Bidding team owns the bidding algorithm and campaign optimization behind Appier's programmatic ad platform. We're looking for a TPM to work closely with scientists and serve as the bridge across engineering teams (Scientist, Bidding serving, Creative, Internal Dashboard, Technical support, etc) and drive cross-team technical programs to completion. Business-side communication is primarily routed through the Product Manager, but this role still needs to understand business requirements well enough to translate them into technical scope and trade-offs.

What You Will Do

Lead the planning, scheduling, and delivery tracking of cross-team technical programs (e.g., model iteration, algorithm migration, dashboard migration), keeping timelines and priorities aligned
Clarify technical details with external partners, and translate them into the design of internal technical solutions
Define and maintain SOPs for experiments, feature rollouts, and migration plans (including rollback planning); coordinate A/B test design and rollout sign-off with internal users
Run the cross-team working model through acceptance and feasibility reviews, estimation and prioritization rules, and checkpoint cadence, and track them through Jira/BT.
Write technical documentation and communication materials that make solutions and trade-offs clear to non-technical stakeholders
Perform basic data queries to validate decisions independently (SQL/spreadsheets)

Minimum Qualifications

3+ years of experience as a Technical PM, ideally in adtech or e-commerce
Dig into and find the fundamental root cause before proposing solutions
Experience analyzing pros and cons across solutions
Experience coordinating across engineering and business-facing teams, with strong stakeholder management skills
Working SQL/data-analysis skills, able to independently validate data for decision-making
Familiar with project management tools such as Jira/Confluence

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with adtech concepts such as attribution, tracking and rendering behavior
Experience with real-time bidding / DSP systems / user-value prediction or other online serving systems
Basic Python/PySpark skills to write your own queries
Fluent in both English and Mandarin, for coordinating with international partners
