Our current focus is to help consumer brands shift from "workflow automation" to "agent management" within their marketing operations. Shadow is the AI coordination layer - providing shared AI memory, centralized agent control, and model orchestration for marketing teams., * Product Ownership You'll ship production code daily and help steer key product and technical decisions. * Shape the Engineering Culture You'll influence how we work-tools, processes, standards, and hiring. * Work with Challenger Consumer Brands Talk directly to customers (CEOs, CMOs, VP's) of fast-growing consumer brands-some doing $80M-$500M in revenue., Part senior growth marketer, part data scientist, part applied-AI builder - you turn the way elite marketers think into the data models, metrics, and schemas that power Shadow's intelligence layer. You report directly to the CEO of Shadow., * Design the analytical models and metric logic the agent reasons with - contribution margin (CM3), acquisition truth (aMER, NCAC), cohort LTV/payback, ad spend efficiency and marginal-return analysis, incrementality testing (geo lifts, conversion-lift, MMM calibration) - from raw platform data to decision-ready insight. * Define the schemas that encode marketing tradecraft: how creative, channel, financial, and customer data connect into a queryable picture of a brand. * Own accuracy and judgment - what's load-bearing vs. noise, where attribution lies, how to compute metrics that survive operator scrutiny. * Spec the model; partner with data eng to build the pipeline and the AI team to wire it into agent skills., * Familiarity with modern warehouse/analytics stacks (BigQuery, dbt) - enough to design schemas and collaborate with eng. * Agency or multi-brand background (pattern recognition across accounts). * Built attribution models, forecasting/MMM, or internal analytics dashboards. Culture fit * You're a power AI user. You've embedded AI into every workflow you touch and you think in systems - not one-off prompts, but repeatable structures that compound. * Entrepreneurial. You don't need much direction to move fast, you pivot when the situation demands it, and what you ship is production-grade, not a prototype you hand off for someone else to finish. ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [Data Governance in the Era of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1622-data-governance-in-the-era-of-ai) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1520-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [How to Monetize Your APIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/749-how-to-monetize-your-apis) ## Related Articles - [Got AI ideas but no money?
