What the job involves
- Pocus is powered by a custom agent-based AI platform that helps our customers ingest, transform, and make sense of structured as well as semi-structured data that can be public or private

- Pocus’ infrastructure runs on AWS. We use Typescript to develop code and communication happens via GraphQL
- We use technologies like Clickhouse, Presto, Temporal, LLMs etc. and have a strong bias towards using managed services wherever possible
- Build an AI platform that is scalable, reliable, and extensible: The platform owned by this team forms the basis of everything that our application is built on
- At a very high level, it includes:
- A data ingestion layer that supports data extraction from various warehouses, databases, CRMs, public datasets, crawlers, etc
- A transformation and relevance engine that enriches this data using LLM based reasoning and tools
- A query engine that lets you filter and aggregate these transformed entities in milliseconds
- A workflow system that lets you act on these results via 3rd party connections like Outreach, Slack etc. or via web-hooks
- You will play a key role in making it feature-rich, stable, and scalable
- Have complete autonomy: Extreme autonomy and ownership is how we move so fast. At Pocus, you will have the opportunity to influence every aspect of our product and technology
- Build secure systems: Our customers entrust us with a lot of sensitive data, so we take security very seriously at Pocus
- Work with best-in-class engineering practices: We take immense pride in the craft of our work. We don’t skimp on things like code review, developer tooling, documentation, testing, etc
- Join an incredible team at a magical time: We’re at the beginning stages of explosive growth. Join a passionate, scrappy, and no-ego team of builders that will inspire you every day
Our take
Pocus is a marketing company founded in 2021 by Alexa Grabell and Isaac Pohl-Zaretsky. As the developers of a product-led sales platform, Pocus offers a unique alternative to current marketing trends by offering a service that lets customers see the product first-hand.
An understanding that the tech stack doesn’t accommodate this style of marketing means it has to do the heavy lifting for the consumer. As a solution, Pocus makes good use of automation tools to streamline its systems.
The Subscription as a service (SaaS) platform allows easy to read data to be translated from the back end for non-technical teams, then join it with customer data for tailored solutions.
Markets change and Pocus understands this. As consumers lose trust in new brands that rely on hyperbole and flashy branding to sell their product, an alternative where products are seen first-hand could become the new norm. Pocus is in a great position to lead the market for such a change and raised substantial capital in 2022 to do just that.
