Lead the technical vision for AI-driven marketing automation. Build a unified data foundation, design and ship LLM-powered agents and automations across content, lifecycle, and paid channels, integrate marketing systems with engineering, run hypothesis-driven experiments, and codify repeatable playbooks to scale marketing engineering.
Who We Are
At Apartment List, we’re transforming how people rent—making it smarter, easier, and a lot less frustrating. Our platform has already matched over 1.4 million renters with their next home, while helping properties fill units with the right residents. Backed by strong growth and a big vision, we’re building the future of renting—and inviting bold thinkers to help us shape it!
About the RoleThis 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 marketpace
- 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
Must-haves:
- 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
Nice-to-haves:
- 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
