Job description

This is a remote position.

Picture a marketer who types a goal into a box and gets back a whole campaign: the creative, the audience, the launch across every ad and email channel, and a running read on what's working and what to change next. Not a copilot that drafts a subject line. An agent that runs the program end to end.

That's what this team is building, and they need an engineering leader to take it further.

Why this one is worth a look

  • It's the bet, not a side project. Agents are where the company is putting its chips, and this team is at the center of it.
  • The customers are household names. Global consumer brands, major retailers and fast-growing fintechs already run on the platform.
  • The data foundation is already there. The company built a leading customer data platform first. The agents sit on top of real customer context, not a blank prompt.
  • Recognized category leader. The major industry analysts rank them at the front of their space.
  • That salary range. Up to $400K base, the same no matter where in North America you live.

The role

This is a player-coach leadership job. Engineering leaders here are expected to be a real technical voice in the room and a strong people manager at the same time. You won't hide behind status reports, and you won't disappear into the code either.

What you'll own

  • Shipping big things. Lead the roadmap and delivery of major features. Keep the technical bar high and make smart, pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Speed. Make the team measurably faster through how you lead and what you contribute technically.
  • Hiring. Figure out who the team needs, decide how to evaluate them, and bring in people who move the needle.
  • Reliability. Fewer incidents. Catch problems before customers ever see them. Tighten up incident response.
  • People. Help everyone on the team grow, stay engaged and stay motivated.

The problems you'll be solving

  • Content generation. Producing on-brand marketing content at scale, combining foundation models, deep customer context and human review.
  • Context management. Building the systems that organize customer data, brand guidelines, campaigns and goals so the agents can actually reason well.
  • Insights. Spotting what's working, when creative is wearing out, and what competitors are doing, then turning that into recommended next moves.
  • Orchestration. Wiring generated assets into ad and lifecycle platforms so campaigns launch and run reliably.


Requirements

Who thrives here

  • Intellectually curious, motivated, and genuinely excited by the four problems above
  • Strong enough technically to shape architecture and challenge decisions, not just run standups
  • A track record of growing people and building teams
  • Someone who cares more about impact than titles or tenure

How they work

The team is ambitious, focused on impact, and efficient. They move fast. They also put real weight on humility, kindness and compassion, and see those as part of why they win, not a nice-to-have.




Salary: Up to $400,000 USD Base + Perks
