  • Experiment with ad experience formats and analyze performance data to determine what drives better outcomes for advertisers and users.
  • Define success metrics and evaluate product performance through rigorous experimentation and A/B testing.
  • Build analyses using SQL to understand advertiser behavior, product usage, campaign performance, and revenue impact.
  • Identify product gaps and growth opportunities, develop product recommendations, and influence roadmap decisions through quantitative data, customer feedback, and market insights.
  • Help scope and launch integrations with third-party measurement, attribution, and ecommerce platforms.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product Design, Business Development, and Growth teams to drive initiatives from concept through launch including ideation, scoping, prototyping, QA testing, gathering client feedback, and post-launch measurement.
  • Monitor key business metrics, investigate performance trends, and develop recommendations that influence product strategy.


The Impact You'll Make
  • Drive measurable improvements in advertiser adoption, engagement, and product usage.
  • Shape the evolution of AppLovin's advertising platform through experimentation and data-driven decision making.
  • Influence product strategy across mobile, ecommerce, and CTV advertising products.
  • Help advertisers achieve stronger outcomes through improved workflows, tools, and measurement capabilities.
  • Build scalable frameworks for experimentation, product measurement, and feature rollout.
Who You Are
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, Statistics, Mathematics, Business Analytics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 2-4 years of post-graduation experience in product, business operations and analytics, management consulting, investment banking, or investing.
  • Strong SQL skills and proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python strongly preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to independently scope ambiguous problems, design analyses, synthesize findings, and present recommendations.
  • Strong track record of driving measurable business impact through data-driven decision making.
  • Highly analytical with excellent problem-solving skills and business judgment.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with significant ownership and autonomy.
  • Strong communicator who can influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Naturally curious, proactive, and motivated by solving complex business problems.

About AppLovin

Applovin Corporation, doing business as AppLovin, is a mobile technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Founded in 2012, it operated in stealth mode until 2014. AppLovin enables developers of all sizes to market, monetize, analyze and publish their apps through its mobile advertising, marketing, and analytics platforms MAX, AppDiscovery, and SparkLabs. AppLovin operates Lion Studios, which works with game developers to promote and publish their mobile games. AppLovin also has large investments in various mobile game publishers. In 2020, 49% of AppLovin's revenue came from businesses using its software and 51% from consumers making in-app purchases. AppLovin was founded in 2012 by Adam Foroughi, John Krystynak, and Andrew Karam. Foroughi stated that the AppLovin name came from Bloglovin', a content organizing company, contrary to reports of an homage to the Christopher Mintz-Plasse character from the 2007 film, Superbad. The company operated in stealth mode until 2014, raising $4 million in financing from angel investors, Streamlined Ventures and the Webb Investment Network. Before emerging from stealth mode, AppLovin acquired customers including Opentable and Spotify. In October 2014, AppLovin purchased the German mobile ad-network, Moboqo. On September 26, 2016, it was reported that AppLovin had agreed to be acquired by the Chinese private equity firm, Orient Hontai Capital, for $1.42 billion; the acquisition deal was subsequently abandoned for debt investment after opposition to the plans from CFIUS. The company was ranked #10 on the 2016 Deloitte Fast 500 North America list, and again in 2018. Foroughi was recognized on the 2017 San Francisco Business Times "40 Under 40" list.
