We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 2+ years of experience to join our one-person team and build the core infrastructure for our ad network. You will be a generalist engineer with a strong backend focus, capable of designing and implementing systems that handle massive scale from day one. This is a unique opportunity to tackle real scaling challenges, like processing millions of ad requests, that most early-stage companies don't face until much later. We need someone who can ship code quickly, operate independently, and take extreme ownership of outcomes as we build the dominant ad network for consumer AI.
What will you be doing?
Growl is the ad-network for consumer AI applications. We’ve gone from 0 to 2.5M users in our partner network in 45 days of inception. Growl is aggregating supply across consumer AI apps to help them monetize their users via ads and help advertisers reach the right audience at the right moment.
