Senior AI Engineer, MarTech

Role Overview: We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to lead the transformation of our marketing ecosystem. You won’t just be maintaining tools; you will be architecting the intelligence layer that powers hyper-personalization, autonomous campaign optimization, and generative creative pipelines. You will architect and lead buildout of infrastructure systems that do not merely execute pre-defined tasks but perceive context, reason through complex strategic problems, and orchestrate end-to-end workflows with minimal human intervention. We are moving from "campaign management" - a manual, administrative task - to "campaign orchestration" a strategic, supervisory role and invest in effective Human-Agent Teams. This is a position located in the US in either San Jose, CA or Frisco, TX. You will be required to be onsite on an as-needed basis. We are only considering candidates within a commutable distance to one of the two locations and are not offering relocation assistance at this time. Position Details:
