About the role

Who you are

  • 2–5 years of engineering or technical experience, with meaningful hands-on work applying AI/LLMs to real business problems (side projects count — we care about what you've built, not just where)
  • Proficiency in Python or Typescript and comfort working with APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar LLM providers)
  • Build repeatable skills or plugins for popular LLM clients to empower your team
  • Educate and mentor team members to become more AI-Native
  • A builder's mentality: you'd rather ship a working prototype than write a spec about one
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Agent SDK, n8n, Make, Zapier, or custom Typescript/Python pipelines)
  • Prior work at a DTC subscription company or growth-stage startup
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG architectures, or fine-tuning
  • Experience building internal tools used by non-technical teams
  • Familiarity with marketing platforms and data infrastructure — ideally some combination of Braze, Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Snowflake, or equivalent
  • Strong enough understanding of growth marketing to ask the right questions and build tools that practitioners actually want to use

What the job involves

  • AI is no longer a roadmap item — it's the operating system for how modern growth teams win. We're hiring a AI Native Engineer, Growth Marketing to be the hands-on builder who embeds AI into every corner of how our Growth team works: performance marketing, creative production, CRM, landing pages, growth ops, and beyond
  • This is a rare hybrid role. You're equal parts engineer and growth practitioner — someone who can write a Python script in the morning, ship a Braze-connected AI workflow by afternoon, and explain the business impact to a non-technical stakeholder by EOD. You don't need to have done this at scale before — you need to be obsessed with building at the frontier of what's possible and have the technical chops to make it real
  • You'll report directly to the Head of Growth and work across every subteam in the Growth org as their embedded AI engineer
  • Performance Marketing: Build AI-powered tools to automate bid strategy analysis, budget pacing alerts, creative performance scoring, and anomaly detection across paid channels (SEM, Meta, Affiliate, YouTube, etc.)
  • Creative Studio: Develop AI workflows for ad copy generation, creative brief automation, image asset variation at scale, and creative performance feedback loops between analytics and the studio team
  • CRM & Lifecycle: Implement AI-driven personalization and send-time optimization across email, SMS, push, and in-app channels; build agentic workflows that pull Snowflake data, generate segment logic, and trigger Braze campaigns with minimal manual intervention
  • Landing Pages & Conversion: Automate LP variant generation, headline testing ideation, and personalization logic by audience segment or traffic source
  • Growth Ops: Build internal AI tools — dashboards, Slack bots, report generators — that reduce repetitive analytical work and accelerate decision-making across the team
  • Growth Product: Partner with Product and Engineering to identify where AI-powered features (recommendations, dynamic content, smart nudges) can accelerate funnel conversion and retention
  • Tooling & Infrastructure: Evaluate, implement, and maintain the AI/ML toolstack that powers Growth — from LLM APIs to workflow orchestration tools to data pipelines
  • What Success Looks Like
  • A measurable reduction in manual hours across mundane Growth through AI-driven automation
  • At least 5-10 production-grade AI tools or workflows live and actively used by the team within the first 4 months
  • CRM campaigns that are more personalized, faster to launch, and higher-performing because of AI assist
  • Creative output volume increases without a proportional increase in headcount
  • The Growth team thinks of you first when they want to do something smarter, faster, or at scale
