About Hightouch

Hightouch is the modern AI platform for marketing and growth teams. Our AI agents reimagine marketing workflows, allowing marketers to create content, plan campaigns, and execute strategies with transformational velocity and performance.

Hightouch is a rare company built on the intersection of two fundamental technological shifts: advances in LLMs and agentic AI, and the creation and rapid adoption of cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks. Building on these tailwinds, we’ve become a leader in AI marketing and partner with industry leaders like Domino’s, Chime, Spotify, Ramp, Whoop, Grammarly, and over 1000 others.

Our team focuses on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We approach challenges with first-principles thinking, move quickly and efficiently, and treat each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members who are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.

About the Role

We are looking for an engineering leader to lead machine learning efforts across Hightouch. While hundreds of companies use Hightouch today to sync data into their SaaS systems to automate and improve operations, there’s a lot of surface area we haven’t touched in helping companies figuring out which customers to message, what content to put in messages, and when to send messages. A lot of this work today is done manually through intuition and guesswork, and we believe that adding machine learning could have a step function impact for our customers. And given our access to data warehouses and databases, Hightouch is perfectly placed to make use of a company’s customer data in building a powerful intelligence layer.

At Hightouch, our engineering leaders serve as both active technical voices and strong people managers. The key outcomes we are looking for from this role include:

  • Product Development: Lead the team in roadmapping and executing successful development of significant features and products as required to drive the business forward. Uphold a high technical bar, while making pragmatic tradeoffs
  • Pace: Through a combination of leadership and technical expertise, improve the pace of execution of the team
  • Recruiting: Be responsible for growing the team, including identifying needs, deciding how to evaluate candidates, and ensuring we hire high impact team members
  • Reliability: Against the uphill battle of high growth/scale, up-level the team on reliability, resulting in fewer incidents, catching our own issues before our customers do, and a strong incident management hygiene
  • People: Foster growth of team members and ensure strong engagement and motivation

Some of the problems we’ll be working on include:

  • Personalization and Product Recommendation: There are often many options for what content a company could message a user with, including which products to show from catalogues. Given this large state space, how can Hightouch help personalize messages with the most relevant content for each user?
  • Probabilistic Identity Resolution: Many of our customers have multiple datasets and sources of information on their users. How do we stitch these datasets together and decide which profiles are from the same user or household?
  • Content Generation: Particularly with recent advances in LLMs, how can we help marketers generate text, images, and creatives that are compelling to their customers?
  • ML Infrastructure: Building the infrastructure to support model training and interference at scale for some of the largest companies in the world.

What We Offer

We are looking for talented, intellectually curious, and motivated individuals who are interested in tackling the problems above. This is a senior role, but we focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience. The salary range for this position is $230,000 - $350,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy. We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10 year post-termination exercise window.

We have limited inbound applications to one application per candidate. You will be auto-rejected if you apply to multiple roles. Please only apply to the position you are most qualified for.

Hightouch participates in E-Verify.

We're Hightouch, and we're on a mission to make the best customer data technology in the world available to every enterprise. We were founded by engineers who, after years of working with customer data platforms and AI, saw the transformative impact of enabling business and marketing teams to activate customer data. However, they also recognized the limitations of existing rigid tools like legacy Customer Data Platforms. By building a platform that sits on top of an organization's existing data infrastructure, our founders knew that teams could unlock a more performant, flexible, and secure solution to activating customer data at scale — and thus, Hightouch was born.

Our Composable Customer Data Platform (CDP) empowers companies to activate their data warehouse to power personalized marketing and business operations. We enable anyone to deliver personalized customer experiences, optimize performance marketing, and move faster by leveraging data and AI across their organization. With Hightouch, you can use your data warehouse to power business growth. Enterprises use our platform to collect behavioral events, resolve identities into Customer 360 profiles, build audiences, sync data to over 200 destinations like ad platforms and CRMs, and analyze the results of marketing campaigns. We've built a product that can handle the scale of the largest enterprises' most intense customer data use cases. Now, we are dedicated to helping enterprises around the world leverage the most innovative technologies in AI and customer data to grow their business. We believe in a future where marketers can break free from manual work, using AI to achieve 1:1 personalization by simply setting goals and letting AI agents decide the next best action for each individual customer.
