Director, App Acquisition – Lifecycle Marketing

Machine Learning Engineer

• Build and maintain ML infrastructure end-to-end: Extend and operate the infrastructure that powers every model we ship — including CI/CD pipelines, model orchestration, and automated training pipelines designed to scale reliably without manual intervention.
• Own model deployment and serving: Help define and evolve the standards and tooling for model serving, ensuring low latency and high availability across our ML services.
• Develop core MLOps capabilities: Establish and maintain essential infrastructure that functions as reliable, self-service systems for the entire machine learning organization — with a focus on feature stores, model registries, and automated monitoring for performance and data drift.
• Operationalize infrastructure for the ML team: Collaborate with Operations to enable Kubernetes (k8s) autoscaling and GPU provisioning, turning these into accessible, self-service tools for ML practitioners — including standing up and operating a Kubernetes-based development cluster and taking models from experimentation to GPU-backed production.

Senior Engineering Manager

Product Designer

• Own the design direction and the UX/UI pattern system across the apps surface. Navigation, mental models, and UI consistency cut across Apps Meta, Retention, and Design Systems at once, and you hold that cross-cutting direction so three teams ship one coherent experience rather than three versions of it.
• Set the quality standard for apps design and hold it as a discipline, not a project. Make the bar visible where teams miss it, and close gaps across teams that you did not personally create. You are accountable for the quality and velocity of all apps design output.
• Run planning and discovery for all three teams. Break multi-team, loosely defined problems into clear design direction the designers can run with.
• Partner with the Director of Product for Apps and the apps PMs on core initiatives, influencing roadmap and prioritization through design rationale.
• Lead native craft across iOS and Android. Set the approach for resizability, foldables, new screen sizes, and solve how KAYAK responds to platform chrome shifts like Liquid Glass and Material 3 Expressive.
• Lead the design approach for mobile AI features: how we integrate AI into the apps, the UI, and the navigation around it, so it lands as a native part of the experience.
• Drive the brand differentiation work for our portfolio of hero brands apps like momondo to ensure local market dominance.
• Raise the ceiling for the other apps designers through critique, shared standards, and patterns they build on. Designers should get better by working alongside you and using what you establish, not only through direct mentorship.
