About us
At MAI (pronounced “my”), we're on a mission to democratize advanced advertising technology. We believe that cutting-edge marketing tools, once exclusive to large enterprises with massive budgets, should be accessible to everyone. Our platform uses AI agents to automate and optimize performance marketing, empowering small and mid-sized businesses to scale their ad spend profitably without the need for an agency or endless hours of manual campaign management.
Founded by ad platform veterans from Google and Instacart, we've successfully raised a $25 million Seed funding round led by Kleiner Perkins to accelerate our growth. This capital will be used to expand our product and engineering teams, bringing our vision of intelligent, autonomous marketing to life. Our AI agents have already proven their value, helping clients drive 40% more sales and managing millions in monthly Google Ads spend.
Why join now
While traditional software has a clear playbook, building the infrastructure for autonomous, intelligent agents is a new frontier—and we're writing the manual.
As an early Machine Learning Engineer at MAI, you won't just be writing code; you'll be the architect of the entire ecosystem where our AI agents live, learn, and operate. You will have a profound impact across our entire stack, from the foundational data platforms that feed our agents, to the core agentic frameworks that allow them to reason, to the scalable serving systems that deliver their intelligence to our customers. This is a rare opportunity to build a truly AI-native product from the ground up and solve problems at the forefront of the industry.
You won't just be a cog in a large machine. You'll be an athlete on a small, focused team of fewer than ten engineers, with immense impact and the ability to shape the future of our company. We're in the early days of forming three core teams:
- Product Engineering & Infrastructure
- AI Platform & Foundation
- Agent Application & Quality
You'll have the unique chance to learn and grow your skillset as these teams evolve. We encourage you to lean on your specializations while taking on new projects you've never done before, learning from your peers and becoming a more well-rounded engineer.
