Who We Are?

We are Marpipe. (*Insert intro sequence to Rick & Morty*)

We are a martech team that aims to bring data-driven certainty into the world of advertising creative. At a starting point, we do this by taking the artwork people see in digital ads, breaking it down to discrete components, and testing hundreds of permutations to determine which pieces of an ad drive the most customer engagement. We are developing a SaaS platform that takes the tools and techniques we’ve developed, and makes them accessible to anyone with an internet connection. This is where you come in.

As a team, we've been around for about 3 years, but have recently become backed by some of the best partners in the industry, including Adobe, MediaMath, and some of NYC's best VCs.

Job Type: Full-time

Compensation: Combination of salary and equity, commensurate with experience
