Rewarded user-acquisition platform connecting 60M+ users to games and brands
Almedia operates a gamified advertising platform where users earn real rewards (cashback, in-game currency) for engaging with games and apps, reversing the traditional ad-exploitation model. The tech stack—React/Next.js frontend, Python/R data science, GCP/Snowflake backend—supports both real-time reward calculation and large-scale A/B testing infrastructure (Dagster, Airflow, Cypress). Hiring velocity is steady across marketing (largest cohort), engineering, and growth roles, with notable investment in leadership positions (Growth Director, User Acquisition Director, Venture Lead), signaling scaling beyond product into partnerships and geographic expansion.
