- sends billions of messages each year for more than 8,000 brands, helping drive tens of billions of dollars in revenue for our customers. Behind every message is a series of decisions: who should receive it, what it should say, when it should send, which offer to include, and which channel to use.
- We’re building the next generation of that decision-making system: an autonomous marketing agent designed to transform how brands plan, execute, and optimize their marketing. Marketers will set the goals and boundaries, while the platform develops strategies, takes action, measures results, and continuously improves over time.

You’ll work at the intersection of agentic planning, real-time behavioral signals, platform capabilities, experimentation, and reliable execution at massive scale. Your work will help turn increasingly sophisticated AI systems into dependable products that can make and act on millions of marketing decisions.
- The opportunity extends beyond ’s own channels. Through APIs and MCP, we’re building toward a future where this intelligence can operate across a brand’s broader marketing stack, including external email providers, advertising platforms, websites, and custom agents.
