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. Our client waitlist is growing by the day and we couldn’t be more excited about building the future of growth marketing.
Why Join NowYou won't just be a cog in a large machine. You'll be an athlete on a small, focused team with immense impact and the ability to shape the future of our company.
You'll have the unique chance to learn and grow your skillset. We encourage you to lean on your specializations while taking on new projects you've never done before, learning from your peers and becoming more well-rounded in your career.
Become a Marketing Strategist: You'll dive deep into vast marketing datasets to uncover the "why" behind performance. You'll collaborate closely with our Machine Learning and Operations teams to translate your analytical insights into novel strategies that our AI agents will execute autonomously.
Teach Our AI to Answer Questions: You will be a key architect of our analytics agent's "brain". This involves deep work in context engineering—crafting prompts, designing semantic data layers, building robust data pipelines, and developing evaluation frameworks to ensure our agent provides accurate, insightful answers to our customers' toughest data questions.
Build the Data Foundation for Intelligence: You'll take ownership of the data that fuels our agents. You will wrangle messy, multi-platform data into a pristine and powerful asset. More importantly, you'll enrich our agents' capabilities by creating critical tools and signals, such as user funnel models, lifetime value (LTV) predictions, and marketing mix forecasts.
Shape the Future of an AI-Native Product: You will partner directly with our Product and Engineering teams to see your work come to life. Your analysis and models will directly influence the product roadmap, solve real customer problems, and deliver tangible value.

What We Do
MAI was founded by technologists and operators who spent over a decade building ad platforms and e-commerce engines. They saw that growth-stage businesses often lacked access to the advanced growth technology powering the largest platforms, and set out to change that.
Today, a rapidly growing network of D2C brands and apps rely on MAI’s intelligent agents to simplify marketing complexity, uncover actionable insights, and autonomously drive measurable results.
Backed by Tier-1 VCs, MAI is pioneering autonomous growth agents that bring advanced data science and machine learning to every business, and work around the clock to help them reach their full growth potential.
