Full Job Description

Appodeal is a dynamic US-based product company with a truly global presence. We have offices in Warsaw, Barcelona and Parkland (FL), along with remote team members located around the world. Our company thrives on diversity, collaboration, and innovation, making us a leader in the mobile app monetization space. Why Appodeal? At Appodeal, we’re more than just a company—we’re a team united by a common mission: Help people discover and grow their talents through products that enable successful mobile app businesses! We take pride in our cutting-edge product and our internationally dispersed team of talented professionals. Here’s what we value, and what we hope you do too: Continuous Learning and Growth: We are passionate about learning, growing personally, and building rewarding careers. Making an Impact: We are committed to building a history-defining company that leaves a lasting impact on the mobile app industry. Solving Exciting Challenges: We tackle complex problems every day, supported by a team of world-class professionals and mentors. Enjoying the Journey: We believe in having fun while working toward our goals. Appodeal is looking for a Head of Product Development to lead the full ownership of both product and engineering across our mobile gaming business unit — WordMaker, Solitaire, and Brick Blast. This is a single leadership role that owns both product and engineering across Appodeal's mobile gaming portfolio. The Head of Product Development operates as a player-coach: shipping work alongside the team, setting the bar by example, and growing people through proximity — not through management layers. This is not a director role. It's the most senior hands-on contributor in the department who also happens to own the direction. We are looking for someone who has built and shipped at the intersection of product and engineering in mobile gaming, is deeply AI-native, and is energized by ownership without guardrails. What You Own Product Direction Define and evolve
