Job description

Head of Engineering - Adtech Cursor for Advertisers

About the Company

Dynamism is partnering with a fast-growing AI startup building the Cursor for advertisers, AI agents that automate advertising spend. Backed by the exclusive accelerator for repeat founders HF0 and also Tiktok, this is your opportunity to get an early seat on a rocketship.

Who We Are

We’re on a mission to revolutionize performance advertising. If Cursor is the ultimate co-pilot for developers, we are the Cursor for advertisers—leveraging AI to fully automate and optimize advertising workflows.

Today’s ad platforms are powerful but fragmented. Running high-performance campaigns requires managing dozens of dashboards, tweaking budgets manually, and constantly optimizing creatives and bidding strategies. We believe AI agents can do this better—and that’s why we’re building a multi-agent system that automates performance advertising end-to-end.

We are backed by TikTok, HF0, and one of the largest stakeholders of AppLovin, giving us the firepower to build something truly game-changing. We’ve raised $4M in funding and have two commitments for Series A round, ensuring a strong financial foundation to execute our vision.

Why Join Us?

At AdsGency AI, you won’t just be building another SaaS tool—you’ll be pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in multi-agent AI systems. You’ll work on cutting-edge AI automation, large-scale ad infrastructure, and seamless AI-driven user experiences.

We’re building something that advertisers have never seen before—and we need the best minds in AI and software engineering to make it happen.

Who we’re looking for in our Head of Engineering

As a Head of Engineering, you’ll oversee and lead the architecture and development of our AI-powered ad automation system, leading a team of 6 engineers. You’ll work across AI, backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure, leading a high-impact engineering team to build the future of AI-driven advertising.

What You’ll Do:
  • Architect and develop our multi-agent AI system for automated ad buying
  • Lead development across AI (LangChain, CrewAI, Auto-GPT), backend (Node.js, FastAPI, Flask), and frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
  • Optimize real-time bidding, budget allocation, and creative optimization with AI.
  • Build and maintain integrations with Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, and programmatic DSPs.
  • Ensure a scalable, high-performance cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker).
  • Mentor and grow a team of world-class engineers.
What We’re Looking For:
  • Full-stack expertise with experience in AI agents, backend APIs, and frontend development.
  • Proficiency with AI frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, Auto-GPT, or similar.
  • Strong backend skills in Node.js, FastAPI, or Flask.
  • Prior leadership experience or strong technical mentorship capabilities.
  • No sponsorship needed, must be immediately available.
  • Willing to commute to our SF office 5 days a week and work 60+ hours per week.
  • Understands what it takes to build a startup and is deeply familiar with the latest technologies.
  • Ships fast! We move quickly and expect the same from you.
The Current Advertising Workflow & How AI Agents Change It
How It Works Today

Managing advertising campaigns today is a highly manual, fragmented process:

  • Creative Development – Advertisers and agencies manually develop ad creatives based on past performance and intuition.
  • Audience Targeting – Marketers adjust audience segments and interest groups manually across multiple platforms.
  • Bid and Budget Optimization – Teams tweak bids and reallocate budgets daily based on performance data.
  • Performance Monitoring & Reporting – Analysts pull reports from multiple ad platforms, consolidate them into dashboards, and derive insights.
  • A/B Testing & Iteration – Marketers experiment with different creatives and audience combinations over weeks or months to find the best-performing ads.
How AI Agents Transform This

Our platform replaces these fragmented, manual workflows with an autonomous multi-agent AI system that:

  • Generates and tests ad creatives dynamically using AI models trained on real-time performance data.
  • Optimizes audience targeting automatically by analyzing past engagement and conversion metrics.
  • Adjusts bids and budgets in real-time to maximize return on ad spend (ROAS) without human intervention.
  • Monitors performance and provides actionable insights without requiring manual data extraction or dashboard monitoring.
  • Runs thousands of A/B tests simultaneously, finding winning strategies in days instead of months.

With AI agents, advertisers no longer need to manually tweak campaigns. Instead, they can set high-level goals, and our autonomous system will handle the execution, continuously improving performance over time.

Why This is a Career-Defining Opportunity
  • Work on AI that directly impacts ad spend at scale—our agents will control millions of dollars in media buying.
  • Join a company backed by the biggest players in ad tech (TikTok, HF0, and AppLovin’s largest stakeholder).
  • Build AI systems that replace manual work in a trillion-dollar industry.
  • Work in a fast-moving, high-impact environment where you’ll own major features from day one.

This is not a job for people who just want to “work with AI.” This is for builders who want to push AI to its limits in a real‑world, high‑stakes environment.

If you have experience leading AI-driven teams and scaling automation-first engineering, let’s talk. Join this high‑growth AI startup and be part of redefining AI-powered ad optimization. 🚀
