As a Data Platform Engineering Team Leader on the Infrastructure R&D Department in our Tel Aviv office, you'll lead the engineering team behind the data platform powering Taboola's reporting, billing, experimentation, ML training, and revenue optimization. You'll shape the technical direction of one of our most critical platforms, grow exceptional engineers, and solve complex data infrastructure challenges at massive scale—building systems that are reliable, scalable, and easy to use.
To thrive in this role, you'll need:

- Experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems in production, including Kafka, Spark, Linux, and Kubernetes.
- Strong understanding of object-oriented design, concurrent programming, SQL, and NoSQL databases.
- Experience leading architecture discussions, reviewing code, and driving technical direction across engineering teams.
- B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience with dbt, Airflow, StarRocks, or Druid in production.
- Experience leveraging AI agents to improve engineering productivity and familiarity with ML data pipelines.
How you’ll make an impact:
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of talented software engineers while fostering technical excellence and ownership.
- Define the team's technical strategy, roadmap, and architecture for one of Taboola's core data platforms.
- Own the reliability, scalability, and performance of the data pipelines powering reporting, billing, experimentation, and ML training.
- Partner with engineering, product, finance, and ML teams to align priorities and deliver high-impact platform capabilities.
- Drive the adoption of modern data technologies and AI-powered engineering practices to improve developer productivity and platform evolution.
- Stay hands-on by reviewing architecture, code, and technical designs, while helping the team solve complex engineering challenges.
- Guide the evolution of the Spark SQL platform and shared data infrastructure used across R&D.
- Represent the team in architecture reviews, hiring, incident postmortems, and technical forums.
