As a Team Leader on the Audience Extension (Audex) team in our Tel Aviv Office, you’ll play a vital role in driving one of Taboola’s most strategic growth areas — enabling advertisers to reach new audiences beyond our owned-and-operated network.
You’ll lead talented engineers to build large-scale systems, power premium ad placements across the open web and closed gardens, and unlock massive new revenue streams through data, scale, and innovation.

  • Experience with SQL, NoSQL, and Big Data technologies

Bonus points if you have:
  • Experience with agile development methodologies

  • Background in advertising technology or real-time bidding (RTB) systems

How you’ll make an impact:
  • Lead a team of skilled backend engineers building infrastructure used by thousands of sites and over 1.4B users globally

  • Drive strategic integrations with off-network and closed-garden environments

  • Collaborate closely with Product, Business, and Professional Services to deliver end-to-end bidder initiatives

  • Own and scale systems processing 500K+ requests per second and over 100TB of new data daily

  • Utilize a modern tech stack including Java, Spring, Spark, Cassandra, Kafka, MySQL, Kubernetes, and more

  • Foster a culture of growth, accountability, and continuous improvement
