Job Description

Who We Are

At Apartment List, we’re transforming how people rent—making it smarter, easier, and a lot less frustrating. Our platform has already matched over 1.4 million renters with their next home, while helping properties fill units with the right residents. Backed by strong growth and a big vision, we’re building the future of renting—and inviting bold thinkers to help us shape it!

About the Role

Here's what you'll do as part of the team

• Define the technical vision and roadmap for how AI and automation get applied across marketing, prioritizing where agentic workflows create outsized leverage rather than incremental speed
• Build the data foundation connecting renter behavior, pricing/supply signals, channel engagement, and conversion outcomes, establishing it as the system every future automation and targeting decision runs on
• Design, build, and ship production agents and automations across AEO/content, lifecycle marketing, and paid channels, establishing the technical patterns future hires on this team will follow and acting at the principal builder leveraging Profound’s agent marketpace
• Lead the assessment of LLM data inclusion, selection criteria and help address gaps within OpenAI/Claude and others.
• Set the standard for how marketing rethinks core processes rather than just speeding them up — for example, defining the right human-in-the-loop model for content, or whether social can run largely off data we already have
• Establish the working relationship between marketing and engineering, ensuring marketing's systems and data requirements are integrated cleanly into the broader engineering org's standards
• Run every new workflow or automation as a testable hypothesis, and codify what works into playbooks, templates, and systems the rest of the team builds on
• Partner directly with content, lifecycle, and paid channel owners to find where the real friction and opportunity live, and translate technical builds into business impact for non-technical stakeholders

Here are the skills and experience you'll need to be successful

• Deep experience combining marketing execution with engineering — technical marketing, marketing engineering, growth engineering, or a similar hybrid background — with a demonstrated ability to set technical direction, not just execute against one
• Strong programming ability (Python, JavaScript, or similar), with experience building automations, API integrations, or data pipelines end-to-end
• Hands-on experience building custom AI agents or LLM-powered tools — not just configuring pre-built ones — with a track record of finding novel, practical applications for agentic workflows
• Demonstrated ability to operate with minimal direction inside a genuinely undefined mandate — you build the frame, not just fill it in
• Experience pulling in data from outside marketing (pricing, product, lifecycle) and using it to establish a shared foundation others can build on
• Systems thinking — a track record of building for reuse and scale rather than one-off fixes
• Experience translating technical builds into business impact for non-technical stakeholders, and influencing outcomes across teams without direct authority

• Direct experience with Profound or a similar AEO/AI-search marketing platform, ideally including building on an agent marketplace
• Multi-channel marketing experience spanning AEO/GEO, content operations, lifecycle/CRM, or paid performance (Google Ads, Meta Ads)
• Experience in a consumer marketplace or high-growth tech environment

• Zone 1: $166,000 - $201,000 TTC (including $144,000 - $175,000 base salary) + equity
• Zone 2: $153,000 - $186,000 TTC (including $133,000 - $161,000 base salary) + equity
• Zone 3: $141,000 - $171,000 TTC (including $123,000 - $148,000 base salary) + equity

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage: 100% of premiums covered for you AND all of your dependents
• Unlimited Flexible Time Off: Unlimited FTO in addition to 12 company holidays per year, quarterly “recharge” days, and a week-long holiday break
• Home Office Reimbursement: To cover home office furniture and supplies, monthly home internet, and monthly cell phone (if applicable)
• Health & Wellness Reimbursement: To cover monthly gym membership or other qualifying expenses
• Parental Support: Generous parental and family leave, fertility benefits, and employer-sponsored stipends towards family forming services
• 401k Plan: To support you in your individual retirement goals
• Team Events: Frequent team-building events, fun team off-sites, and bi-annual company meetups
• Commitment to DEI: To prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within our workplace and to stay true to our values and mission
• Mentorship and Training: To get you onboard quickly, learn new professional skills, and invest in your career development
• Impact and Visibility: To expose you to and provide the opportunity to work on highly strategic initiatives that will transform the business
• Encouragement and Empowerment: To explore and adopt new technologies and drive meaningful decisions and outcomes
• At Apartment List we believe that everyone deserves a home they love AND a career they love. We strive to build a diverse team that is a reflection of the people we serve; this is made possible through our commitment to fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion, equity, and connectedness.
