Ecosystem Staff Partner Engineer (SDK)

Moloco•Seattle, WA

About The Position

The Ecosystem Staff Partner Engineer (SDK & Mediation) is a senior individual contributor role responsible for owning Moloco’s technical integration strategy and execution with major mediation and SDK platform partners. You will work closely with mediation platforms such as AppLovin MAX, ironSource LevelPlay, Google AdMob, and other ecosystem platforms to lead platform-level integrations, define technical standards, and ensure Moloco’s SDK and integration quality scales across thousands of downstream publishers. This role goes beyond executing individual integrations. You operate at the ecosystem layer - shaping integration architecture, influencing roadmap alignment with platform partners, identifying systemic integration gaps, and driving cross-functional initiatives that improve the scalability and reliability of Moloco’s SDK presence in the market.
