This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of machine learning and growth strategy, building intelligent systems that directly drive user acquisition, conversion, and retention at scale.

  • Design and maintain data pipelines for behavioral analytics, audience targeting, and A/B experimentation.
  • Partner closely with marketing and product teams to translate growth objectives into measurable ML solutions.
  • Experiment with LLMs, recommendation systems, and generative AI for content creation and outreach personalization.
  • Establish data-driven frameworks for channel optimization and ROI tracking across marketing programs.

  • Experience experimenting with LLMs, recommendation systems, and generative AI for content and outreach use cases.
  • Track record of establishing data-driven frameworks for channel optimization and ROI measurement.
  • A builder's mindset — you move fast, experiment often, and take ownership of measurable outcomes.
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States without employer visa sponsorship.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with growth analytics platforms and performance marketing ecosystems.
  • Curiosity for applying AI to business outcomes beyond traditional ML use cases.
