Appodeal is a dynamic US-based product company with a truly global presence.

We have offices in Warsaw, Barcelona and Parkland (FL), along with remote team members located around the world.

Our company thrives on diversity, collaboration, and innovation, making us a leader in the mobile app monetization space.

Why Appodeal?

At Appodeal, we’re more than just a company—we’re a team united by a common mission: Help people discover and grow their talents through products that enable successful mobile app businesses!

We take pride in our cutting-edge product and our internationally dispersed team of talented professionals.

Here’s what we value, and what we hope you do too:

Seek the Truth and Say It with Care: We find the truth together, and nobody owns it, the CEO included. Stories, perspectives and beliefs can be personal. Facts can’t.
Leverage Data to Build Product: Our decisions start from data. We build systems rather than one-off tasks, use AI agents in our daily work and automate whatever is manual. When numbers don’t match, we fix them.
We Work Together to Serve Others: No closed doors between teams. We share what we learn and win as one company first.
Insist on Higher Standards: We don’t settle for “good enough”. We question it and push for better.
Passionate Curiosity Fuels Perseverance: We ask “why”, take on ambiguous problems and keep going when they get hard.
Lean Startup Mentality: Start Small, Iterate Quickly: Think big, ship an MVP first and learn fast. No big-bang releases.
Ownership and Accountability: We work in small squads so each team owns its result end to end and has the freedom to get there. Go deep in your craft and wide enough to own the whole outcome. Escalate blockers early, admit mistakes, fix the damage and learn.
