Multi-client platform architecture with shared components
Closed loop attribution and reporting work streams

Who it’s for

A fit if you…

✓You have a track record of shipping AI prototypes using real-world data
✓You can design systems that handle production edge cases and failure modes
✓You prefer simplifying workflows over just automating them
✓You excel at translating operational problems into measurable metrics

Not for you if…

✗You prefer well-defined roadmaps over ambiguous problem spaces
✗You prefer large, specialized teams over small, multi-functional ones
✗You prefer pure product management without a hands-on builder focus

Reading between the lines

The requirement to build for 'multiple agencies and industries' suggests you will need to manage complex, multi-tenant requirements.
The emphasis on 'prototyping' and 'productionizing' implies a heavy involvement in the early technical lifecycle alongside engineering.
