Marketers have long known that acquiring a customer is not the hardest part — keeping them is. During a relationship with a brand, the customer goes through different lifecycle stages. It's only logical that each stage requires different tactics to keep them engaged. Our platform uses machine learning to predict the lifecycle stage a customer is in and helps marketers automatically deliver the right campaign that captures their attention.

We are growing rapidly and looking for great engineers to join our team.

Our client list is growing, and we're hitting larger and larger amounts of data. We are looking for passionate data engineers to scale out our platform and collaborate with data scientists to implement and improve our machine learning models that crunch billions of data points. Currently, our platform powers thousands of campaigns and processes billions of behavioral signals each day. We’ve sent over a billion individually personalized campaign interactions since our inception!

Like challenging problems? We got you covered.

Our engineers love a challenge. Every day we work with the latest technologies to solve extremely difficult problems involving data, analytics, machine learning, concurrency, scaling, real time stream processing, distributed systems, caching, and more. We optimize every chance we have. For each new challenge, our engineering team focuses on planning up front, prototyping thoroughly yet quickly, then executing with well-tested code. We value simple solutions to difficult problems and have endless thirst to learn learn learn!

We are looking for an experienced data engineer who is passionate about writing clean, well-tested code. You should want to make a huge impact in a fast-paced and cutting-edge start-up environment. You are a spark/scala expert, and you’ll be building robust real-time data pipelines that process billions of events per day and working with our world-class data science team to implement production-quality, scalable machine learning algorithms.

In addition to having meaningful responsibilities and improving engineering chops, you will also receive comprehensive exposure to all aspects of our business. The code and ideas that you contribute will have a tangible impact on the business as a whole. Your code will touch millions of end-users. You will have full responsibility over your projects, and have a real sense of product ownership. You will also have the opportunity to learn tremendously from our awesome team of humble yet super engineers. You'll work with and learn the latest technologies and apply them across our distributed systems.
