About The Position

Fetch is building the most rewarding way to shop, and the teams delivering those experiences are central to our revenue strategy. We are hiring a Senior Director, Engineering - Ads Experiences to lead the organizations responsible for Fetch's rewarded gaming and play experiences, shopping rewards and card-linked earning, and the offer platform that powers earning across all of Fetch. These platforms are consumer-facing, high-volume, and directly tied to ARPU and long-term retention. They span rewarded mobile gaming with tens of millions of partner app installs, transactional shopping, and card-linked earning experiences, and the offer infrastructure connecting Fetch's earning surfaces to brand partners. This is a portfolio of interconnected platforms that must evolve together, scale reliably, and continuously drive measurable business outcomes. As a Senior Director of Engineering, you will lead a multi-team organization including multiple engineering managers and staff-level ICs. You will own technical strategy and investment decisions across this portfolio, partnering closely with Product, Data, and executive leadership to ensure Fetch's earning platforms evolve coherently and sustainably as the business scales. This is not a coding role, but strong technical depth is required to set architectural direction and make high-impact investment trade-offs across multiple product domains. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.
