General Context | Founding Engineer | NYC (On-Site) | $180-220K + Equity | Role As a Founding Engineer, you'll help build our agentic marketing/creative platform and the core infrastructure that powers it. This is a ground‑floor opportunity to architect and ship the foundational systems—data pipelines, ML infrastructure, services, and user experiences. You’ll own major technical decisions, shape both the product and engineering culture, and help define what we build and how we build it. Responsibilities Architect and build core data infrastructure for ingesting, processing, and analyzing multi‑source marketing data at scale Craft delightful user experiences that scale with context Build ML pipelines for creative analysis, competitor intelligence, and performance optimization Own technical decisions across the stack, making smart tradeoffs between speed and scalability Ship constantly—move fast, iterate quickly, and maintain high code quality Be the voice of engineering in product and business decisions About Our mission is to automate consumer marketing. We’re building context‑aware agents that analyze the full spectrum of marketing data—competitor intelligence, social listening, creative performance, audience signals, market dynamics—connect them to a business’s entire marketing stack, and produce outputs that increase performance across the entire marketing funnel end‑to‑end. We’re a small, talent‑dense team that values speed over perfection, ownership over process, and direct communication over corporate speak. We particularly like people who are truthseeking, technically excellent, and obsessed with shipping, and we enjoy spirited debate, hard problems, and building things that win. We’re venture‑backed and based in NYC. #J-18808-Ljbffr
