Company mission
To take complex, cutting-edge technology and turn it into intuitive, easy-to-use solutions that empower local media buyers.
Role
Who you are
- Senior Builder Profile: 10+ years of experience or a founding/early-engineer background with a proven track record of shipping end-to-end software solo or with small teams
- Zero-to-One Expertise: Demonstrated ability to take projects from a blank page to live users, with the ability to articulate the full loop of discovery, iteration, and customer metric movement (activation, retention, etc.)
- Tool Fluency: Broad, full-stack, and AI-native capabilities. Proficient in standing up production prototypes using agentic coding tools, AI coding agents, and eval/observability frameworks
- Operational Style: High technical bar combined with grit in ambiguity. Low-ego and collaborative, with a focus on making surrounding teams better without creating territorial boundaries
- Fresh Perspective: We prioritize innovators from outside the ad-tech category to bring fresh perspectives; prior ad-tech experience is specifically not required
What the job involves
- Reporting to the Chief Innovation Officer, the Applied AI Lead is the building muscle of Madhive's applied adtech innovation factory — turning identified needs into production-quality software at high velocity
- This is a senior, startup-style role designed to transform identified needs into functional, production-quality software
- As a fungible builder, you will surge across mandates, pairing with leadership to take innovative concepts from initial idea to load-bearing V1 releases. This role ensures the Office remains a dedicated building function rather than a strictly advisory one
- Lead zero-to-one builds, shipping production-quality prototypes in days rather than quarters
- Develop reusable components and architectural patterns that can be leveraged by other leads and receiving teams
- Maintain fungibility across various innovation mandates, addressing the highest weekly priorities with agility
- Ship each V1 to production -- including load-bearing, and revenue-generating AI architecture then hand it off as a new innovation for the next team to build around
Our take
The rise in streaming content has revolutionized digital advertising, offering advertisers the potential for more precise campaign calibration. However, alongside this opportunity come new challenges such as consumer overload, ad fraud and data privacy concerns, compounded by the need to integrate with traditional linear television. Navigating these complexities requires a comprehensive solution, and that's where MadHive steps in.
Utilizing AI technology, MadHive's video ad software suite tackles these challenges head-on. It intelligently identifies optimal ad placements, manages ad frequency to prevent saturation, and gauges consumer intent across various platforms including web, mobile and TV. This capability allows advertisers to execute nationwide campaigns with pinpoint local targeting - a remarkable achievement in the dynamic digital content landscape.
Unsurprisingly, MadHive boasts an impressive client roster, boasting a 95% renewal rate with major names like Fox, McAfee and Tegna Premion. This consistent satisfaction has propelled MadHive to expand its offering into critical areas such as data privacy. It also launched the industry's first agentic suite for local media, that supports users to build smarter campaigns faster, and hence accelerate their revenue.
