As a Senior AI Engineer on our Advertising, Company Intelligence, and Intent team, you’ll help design and implement the core systems that power our real-time marketing platform. From high-throughput ad infrastructure to large-scale identity resolution and intelligent systems enhanced by LLMs, push the boundaries of scale, intelligence, and speed—and deliver real-world business impact.

You’ll be joining a team with a broad range of ambitious, technically deep projects—from APIs that process tens of billions of events per day, to new buyer intent algorithms powered by LLMs, to a unified B2B identity graph. Depending on your strengths and interests, you’ll be matched to the initiatives where you can have the greatest impact.

This is a high-growth, high-ownership environment operating at the edge of what’s possible in modern software engineering, data infrastructure, and applied AI.

What You'll do:

  • Design and build distributed systems that process, enrich, and respond to billions of behavioral events per day in real time
  • Develop high-performance APIs and services that support advertising, identity, and intent features across the Marketing Platform
  • Leverage machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to analyze behavioral data, classify content, extract signals, and enable intelligent decision-making
  • Build intelligent agents using frameworks like LangGraph or MCP to reason over data and power user-facing insights
  • Design and operate data pipelines using tools like Kafka, Kinesis, and ClickHouse to support both streaming and batch workloads
  • Drive quality, performance, scalability, and observability across all systems you own
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, data scientists, and engineers to deliver customer-facing features and internal tooling
  • Contribute to technical leadership and mentorship of teammates. 

What you bring:

  • 7+ years of backend, data, or infrastructure engineering experience, or equivalent impact and leadership.
  • Distributed systems engineering (e.g., building low latency high and throughput APIs, scalable microservices, event processing pipelines)
  • Big data infrastructure (e.g., streaming, warehousing, low-latency storage at scale)
  • Applied AI/ML, including use of LLMs for extraction, classification, or reasoning tasks.
  • Proficiency in one or more core languages: Java, Go, Python
  • Solid grasp of SQL and large-scale data modeling
  • Familiarity with databases and tools such as: ClickHouse, DynamoDB, Bigtable, Memcached, Kafka, Kinesis, Firehose, Airflow, Snowflake
  • Comfortable using LLMs as part of your development workflow—whether via tools like Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, or others—to boost productivity, explore architecture ideas, and rapidly prototype.
  • Skilled at designing and implementing LLM-powered systems such as RAG pipelines, agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph), or intelligent workflows that reason across large datasets in real time.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience in ad tech, real-time bidding (RTB), or programmatic systems
  • Background in identity resolution, attribution, or behavioral analytics at scale
  • Contributions to open source in ML, infrastructure, or data tooling
  • Strong product instincts and a passion for building tools that drive meaningful outcomes
