Senior Product Manager - Real Time Bidding

Job description

# About Voodoo Voodoo is a consumer tech company founded in Paris in 2013, with one mission: entertain the world. Today we are 1,000 people, generating $1b+ in annual revenue, profitably. Our games and apps have passed 7 billion downloads and reach 200 million+ active users every month, making Voodoo the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in downloads, after Google and Meta. We were backed by Goldman Sachs, Tencent and GBL along the way. # Team The Engineering & Data team builds innovative tech products and platforms to support the impressive growth of their gaming and consumer apps which allow Voodoo to stay at the forefront of the mobile gaming industry. Helix is our flagship Ad-Network team of around 60 top-tier engineers and data scientists spanning backend, mobile SDKs, data engineering, infrastructure, and AI. Helix has evolved beyond powering Voodoo's own gaming portfolio—our technology is now directly integrated into games from external, third-party publishers worldwide. Operating across millions of third-party devices in real-time bidding environments creates unique technical challenges around SDK performance, ultra-low latency, and intelligent automation. Within Helix, you'll join the RTB team, the group that owns the bidder and the services behind it that help it take the optimal bidding decision. Bidder, pricing, models and data are all built in-house, so nothing is out of reach when you want to change how a bid gets made. You will work with expert backend and machine-learning engineers in real-time bidding, on a system that prices ad requests across mobile gaming in real time, at a scale few teams get to work at. # Role We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager - Real Time Bidding to join our Engineering & Data team. In this role, you’ll drive product decisions across the full bidding pipeline. You'll own projects end-to-end: roadmap, trade-offs, shipping, and cross-team contract. You will also: - Own the roadmap of the bidding pipeline. How we target, price, pace and cap, and what goes live in the bid path and when. - Own the delivery. Adapt to changes, set clear priorities, communicate effectively - Own experimentation as a product. Other teams test ideas on the bidder through the framework we build. You make sure they can run the experiments they need, trust the results, and get an answer fast. - Keep the pieces fitting together. You spot a change in one team that will break another before it reaches production. - Contribute to the product strategy beyond your scope. # Profile (Must have) - Experience in programmatic advertising. You have worked on pricing, bidding or auction logic on a DSP, bidder or exchange, you know the pipeline from bid request to win, and you can explain the business impact of your work. - Analytical mindset. You back decisions with data and understand the statistical basis of pricing and experimentation. - You own outcomes across teams. When a change in one team is about to break another, you catch it and drive the fix before it ships. - You use AI tooling daily to write specs, analyse data and prototype, and you move faster because of it. # Profile (Nice to have) - Mobile user acquisition: app install campaigns, attribution or mediation. - Experience working with ML or data science teams. - Supply-side experience: ad exchange or SSP. - Background in statistics, operations research or economics. # Benefits - Competitive salary based on experience - Swile Lunch voucher - Gymlib (100% covered by Voodoo) - Premium healthcare coverage with SideCare, 100% covered for you and your family - Wellness activities in our Paris office - Remote Fridays
