[Hiring] Senior Marketing Engineer II @Apartment List

Role Description

This is a critical extension of our current MarTech function to bring Marketing Engineering across all our growth and marketing functions. Marketing is being rebuilt around AI: agentic workflows, a connected data foundation spanning renter behavior, pricing and supply signals, and channel engagement, and a fundamentally faster way of getting campaigns into market. You'll set the direction for where automation actually creates leverage — starting with our AEO and content engine, lifecycle marketing, and paid channels (Google, Meta) — and build outward from there. You'll partner with Marketing leadership with real license to challenge how things have always been done, and the technical depth to make those changes stick.

• Define the technical vision and roadmap for how AI and automation get applied across marketing, prioritizing where agentic workflows create outsized leverage rather than incremental speed.
• Build the data foundation connecting renter behavior, pricing/supply signals, channel engagement, and conversion outcomes, establishing it as the system every future automation and targeting decision runs on.
• Design, build, and ship production agents and automations across AEO/content, lifecycle marketing, and paid channels, establishing the technical patterns future hires on this team will follow and acting at the principal builder leveraging Profound’s agent marketplace.
• Lead the assessment of LLM data inclusion, selection criteria and help address gaps within OpenAI/Claude and others.
• Set the standard for how marketing rethinks core processes rather than just speeding them up — for example, defining the right human-in-the-loop model for content, or whether social can run largely off data we already have.
• Establish the working relationship between marketing and engineering, ensuring marketing's systems and data requirements are integrated cleanly into the broader engineering org's standards.
• Run every new workflow or automation as a testable hypothesis, and codify what works into playbooks, templates, and systems the rest of the team builds on.
• Partner directly with content, lifecycle, and paid channel owners to find where the real friction and opportunity live, and translate technical builds into business impact for non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Deep experience combining marketing execution with engineering — technical marketing, marketing engineering, growth engineering, or a similar hybrid background — with a demonstrated ability to set technical direction, not just execute against one.
• Strong programming ability (Python, JavaScript, or similar), with experience building automations, API integrations, or data pipelines end-to-end.
• Hands-on experience building custom AI agents or LLM-powered tools — not just configuring pre-built ones — with a track record of finding novel, practical applications for agentic workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to operate with minimal direction inside a genuinely undefined mandate — you build the frame, not just fill it in.
• Experience pulling in data from outside marketing (pricing, product, lifecycle) and using it to establish a shared foundation others can build on.
• Systems thinking — a track record of building for reuse and scale rather than one-off fixes.
• Experience translating technical builds into business impact for non-technical stakeholders, and influencing outcomes across teams without direct authority.

Requirements

• Direct experience with Profound or a similar AEO/AI-search marketing platform, ideally including building on an agent marketplace.
• Multi-channel marketing experience spanning AEO/GEO, content operations, lifecycle/CRM, or paid performance (Google Ads, Meta Ads).
• Experience in a consumer marketplace or high-growth tech environment.

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: Including annual salary, pre-IPO stock options, and other financial compensation (if applicable).
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage: 100% of premiums covered for you AND all of your dependents.
• Unlimited Flexible Time Off: Unlimited FTO in addition to 12 company holidays per year, quarterly “recharge” days, and a week-long holiday break.
• Home Office Reimbursement: To cover home office furniture and supplies, monthly home internet, and monthly cell phone (if applicable).
• Health & Wellness Reimbursement: To cover monthly gym membership or other qualifying expenses.
• Parental Support: Generous parental and family leave, fertility benefits, and employer-sponsored stipends towards family forming services.
• 401k Plan: To support you in your individual retirement goals.
• Team Events: Frequent team-building events, fun team off-sites, and bi-annual company meetups.
• Commitment to DEI: To prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within our workplace and to stay true to our values and mission.
• Mentorship and Training: To get you onboard quickly, learn new professional skills, and invest in your career development.
• Impact and Visibility: To expose you to and provide the opportunity to work on highly strategic initiatives that will transform the business.
• Encouragement and Empowerment: To explore and adopt new technologies and drive meaningful decisions and outcomes.
