Yahoo Mail is the ultimate consumer inbox, serving more than 220 million users at internet scale. The AntiSpam and Delivery engineering team builds and operates critical infrastructure that protects users from spam, phishing, fraud, and abuse while reliably delivering billions of messages a day across Yahoo Mail and the broader email ecosystem. This work demands extreme reliability, resilience, performance, and strong engineering judgment across distributed systems, data, networking, and standards-based email infrastructure, all while modernizing existing systems and building cloud-native solutions that improve scale, agility, and developer velocity. This is an AI-forward organization, actively deepening its use of agentic AI across engineering.
You are an experienced engineering leader who knows how to lead through senior engineers and tech leads, find simple and coherent paths forward in challenging situations, and turn business requirements into clear technical plans for a large squad. You build high-performing organizations by setting clear expectations, developing managers and senior engineers, strengthening team health, and creating the mechanisms that improve execution, quality, and operational excellence over time. You are comfortable in a deeply technical environment: reviewing architecture and key metrics, guiding teams through escalation and risk, and making tradeoffs that improve long-term system health and business impact.
You are also excited to apply AI thoughtfully in both products and engineering workflows. You bring hands-on experience or strong familiarity with AI and ML concepts, and you want to raise AI fluency across the team to improve detection systems, developer productivity, and engineering effectiveness.
