We work closely with the Ads Operations and CRM teams to support Deezer's global engagement and monetization strategy.

• Experience working with large codebases and scaling apps to millions of users.
• Familiarity with tools like GraphQL, Jenkins (CI/CD), and debugging/performance profiling tools.
• Bonus: experience with Apollo, RxJava, ExoPlayer, KMP, or Google Ads Manager.
  
  

Who You Are

• A strong communicator who can work effectively across tech and non-tech teams.
