Full job description

AppsFlyer seeks an R&D Group Lead to manage the SaasLab group responsible for core SaaS platform services including user management, billing, API gateway, and authentication. The role requires 3+ years of engineering leadership and 10+ years of development experience, with strong architectural skills and experience in SaaS platform systems and high-scale distributed cloud architectures. Responsibilities include leading multiple engineering teams, driving architectural transformation, ensuring platform reliability and security, collaborating with product managers, and influencing engineering vision and culture. Technologies used include Node.js, Go, Kafka, GraphQL, Neo4j, Redis, BigQuery, and AWS. A B.Sc. in computer science or equivalent experience is required.

What you'll do

  • Lead and mentor a group of engineers and team leads across multiple domains (core entities, access & API gateway, billing & integrations), fostering growth in design, architecture, and people leadership
  • Own the SaaS platform end to end — ensuring high availability, security, and operational excellence of the systems that underpin every AppsFlyer product
  • Drive and execute an architectural transformation: decoupling from legacy data stores, building a resilient domain model, and adopting modern patterns like GraphQL Federation
  • Work closely with product managers and cross-functional stakeholders, taking accountability for group deliveries and ensuring teams ship on time with excellent quality
  • Lead technical initiatives, processes, methodologies, and architectural decisions across the group
  • Drive AI Products development, SDLC and process improvements via cutting edge tools and methodologies
  • Be a meaningful and major member of AFOS leadership team and influence the unit’s engineering vision, processes, and culture

Requirements

  • 3+ years of engineering leadership experience
  • 10+ years of development and design experience
  • Deep experience with SaaS platform systems — identity, access management, billing, multi-tenancy, API gateways, or similar control-plane domains
  • Experience working with high-scale, distributed cloud-based architectures
  • Strong architectural thinking, with a track record of leading complex migrations or modernization initiatives
  • Excellent analytical and interpersonal skills to work successfully with engineers, product owners, and business stakeholders
  • Proven track record of hiring and managing high-performing engineering teams
  • Experience being a part of strong leadership teams, with excellent collaboration skills and a team-player approach
  • High motivation, can-do attitude, and multi-tasking ability
  • B.Sc. in computer science or equivalent experience
