What you need

The ideal candidate brings expertise in areas such as

building strong data science organizations;
designing data platforms and experimentation infrastructure;
integrating ML into product decision loops;

developing operating cultures built around data and experimentation;

This is a non-executive board position, not an operating role.

Appodeal is building a performance-driven technology platform powered by data and machine learning.

Our systems rely on

large-scale data pipelines;
real-time decision systems;
automated optimization;
experimentation and model iteration.

The company operates an ecosystem including

advertising infrastructure;
demand-side platform (DSP);
supply-side platform (SSP);
mobile game publishing and development.

Machine learning and data infrastructure are core to the company’s long-term competitive advantage.

We are looking for individuals who bring

deep experience running ML-driven product organizations:
strong operational judgment;
experience building data-driven engineering cultures;
an independent mindset;

willingness to challenge assumptions constructively.

Time Commitment

Estimated commitment: approximately four weeks per year. This includes preparation and participation in board meetings as well as occasional strategic discussions with the leadership team.

With an outstanding product and a mission that excites and inspires, Appodeal offers a unique opportunity to make an impact while being part of an amazing team.

Join us and help shape the future of mobile app success!

Here’s what we value, and what we hope you do too

Seek the Truth and Say It with Care: We find the truth together, and nobody owns it, the CEO included. Stories, perspectives and beliefs can be personal. Facts can’t.
Leverage Data to Build Product: Our decisions start from data. We build systems rather than one-off tasks, use AI agents in our daily work and automate whatever is manual. When numbers don’t match, we fix them.
We Work Together to Serve Others: No closed doors between teams. We share what we learn and win as one company first.
Insist on Higher Standards: We don’t settle for “good enough”. We question it and push for better.
Passionate Curiosity Fuels Perseverance: We ask “why”, take on ambiguous problems and keep going when they get hard.
Lean Startup Mentality: Start Small, Iterate Quickly: Think big, ship an MVP first and learn fast. No big-bang releases.
Ownership and Accountability: We work in small squads so each team owns its result end to end and has the freedom to get there. Go deep in your craft and wide enough to own the whole outcome. Escalate blockers early, admit mistakes, fix the damage and learn.

We are seeking an independent board director with deep experience operating ML-driven products and data platforms at scale.

This role is not focused on academic research or algorithm development. Instead, we are looking for a leader who has built organizations where data, experimentation, and machine learning directly drive product decisions, optimization, and revenue growth.

Strategic Focus of the Role

The mission of this role is to strengthen the board’s ability to guide the company in building a world-class data and machine learning organization.

The director will contribute a perspective on

structuring and scaling data science teams;
designing experimentation-driven product cultures;
building high-quality data platforms and infrastructure;
integrating ML systems into business decision processes;
best practices for data-driven product development;
organizational structures that allow ML systems to improve continuously.

This role focuses on how ML-driven companies operate, rather than on the underlying algorithms themselves.

Board members are expected to

Participate in quarterly board meetings;
Provide independent strategic guidance to the CEO and leadership team;
Contribute to discussions around data platform strategy and ML-driven product development;
Provide perspective on organizational structure for data science and ML teams;
Help evaluate major technical and infrastructure investments;
Share insight from companies where ML directly drives business outcomes;
Board members are not involved in day-to-day operations.

Ideal Background

We are looking for a technology or product leader who has built ML-driven product organizations where data science plays a central role in revenue generation and product optimization.

Prior board experience is welcome but not required.
