Data Engineer

About Chord Commerce isn’t a generic AI problem. It’s deeply contextual: attribution rules, margin constraints, inventory realities, customer nuance, brand guardrails, and decision trade-offs are exactly where most “AI analytics” products break. Chord exists to solve that by giving AI a living operational understanding of how the business actually works — so agents can be trusted to operate, not just analyze. Backed by top investors and led by experienced operators, Chord is an AI company focused on solving real problems for commerce teams. We’re looking for thoughtful, detail-oriented, and impact-driven people who want to help shape the future of how commerce teams use data and AI.
