At AppLovin, we are intentional about the team and culture we are building, seeking candidates who are outstanding in their own right and also demonstrate their support of others. About the Role We are looking for a highly-motivated Partner Solutions Engineer - Ads in Palo Alto. This is not a traditional support role. You will operate as a forward-deployed engineer at the intersection of product, engineering, and our partner ecosystem, owning the technical relationship with our most strategic 3P integration partners. We are actively building next-generation integration flows with partners. This role exists to make those integrations succeed, accelerate adoption of our CAPI and tracking infrastructure, and ensure that integration friction gets fed back into the product rather than buried in a ticket queue. 90% of this role is partner-facing: guiding advertisers and integration partners through correct implementation, troubleshooting issues quickly, providing strategic guidance, and proactively identifying gaps in our APIs and flows. The remaining 10% is hands-on: when you see a recurring friction point, you build the fix. We want someone who treats every recurring partner issue as a signal that something in our product, API, or documentation can be improved, and who has the technical depth to act on it. You will work directly with AppLovin's engineering teams and leadership, with real influence over how our integration ecosystem evolves. The partners you support will be some of the most strategically important to Axon's growth.
