Job description

• 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

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
• 401(k) Plan to invest in your future
• Paid Parental Leave
• Wellness Benefit to support your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing
• Unlimited Paid Vacation & Sick Days
• 4-Week Paid Sabbatical after 5 years with us
• Compassionate leave each time the need arises
• Remote/Hybrid/On Site Options
• Employee Stock Options Plan
• Bi-annual bonus based on performance
• Planning Sessions twice a year: New York & Buenos Aires
• Spanish/English Lessons with a private coach
• Monthly CookUnity Credits to enjoy meals crafted by our creators
• Once a month in-person gatherings to fuel connection and belonging
• Chef-Led Culinary Trips to foodie destinations (twice a year)

• 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)
• Ability to work cross-functionally and translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Build repeatable skills or plugins for popular LLM clients to empower your team
• A builder's mentality: you'd rather ship a working prototype than write a spec about one
• Educate and mentor team members to become more AI-Native
• Proficiency in Python or Typescript and comfort working with APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar LLM providers)
• 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
