Zeta is on a mission to redefine how brands and agencies plan, activate, and measure media using the power of AI and real-time data. As we expand our platform capabilities, we\'re building purpose-built applications that bring intelligence, automation, and closed-loop performance to the heart of customer acquisition strategies.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial Senior Director of Engineering to lead the development of next-generation AI-powered applications. This leader will thrive on building and owning a full stack solution and play a pivotal role in platforming agencies and acquisition buyers, combining advanced modeling, intelligent automation, and real-time data pipelines to transform how marketing decisions are made and optimized.

This role is ideal for a technical leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, has a passion for building AI-first applications, and wants to shape the future of media intelligence. You will work across the stack - building UI experiences, defining new APIs, integrating AI agents, refining GenUI components, and extending platform capabilities like new MCP endpoints.

What You\'ll Build

You’ll lead engineering efforts across a portfolio of solutions, including :

  • AI-powered, forecasted marketing intelligence tools that guide strategic decision-making.
  • Robust connections to the programmatic ecosystem to enable precise, audience-based activation and measurement.
  • Connected tools / workflows that plan, bid, and optimize media plans against digital KPIs and real-world outcomes.
  • Comprehensive attribution and measurement capabilities across the entire marketing landscape.
  • Intelligent apps that use modeling pipelines and proprietary Data Cloud insights to drive new customer acquisition at scale.
  • Intuitive workflows and cross-app connections that improve the user journey, ensuring users can move effortlessly between discovery, planning, activation, and measurement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and scale a team of 8-12 engineers to deliver high-quality, production-grade applications.
  • Be a hands-on contributor - from architecture to code reviews, setting technical direction and building prototypes when needed.
  • Collaborate with Product, Data Science, and GTM teams to align roadmap with strategic business outcomes.
  • Integrate AI / ML models into applications, working closely with platform and modeling teams to operationalize intelligence.
  • Define and implement best practices in performance, observability, and cost-efficient design.
  • Foster a culture of innovation, velocity, and ownership within your team.
  • Qualifications

  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in engineering leadership roles.
  • Proven success building and delivering data-driven or AI-powered applications at scale.
  • Demonstrated passion and experience using AI tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AI code generation, intelligent QA, and dev automation tools) to improve development velocity, code quality, and team productivity.
  • Experience working in or adjacent to ad tech, marketing tech, or data platforms is strongly preferred.
  • Deep understanding of modern cloud infrastructure, data modeling, and event-driven architectures.
  • Hands-on technical depth in backend systems, APIs, AI / ML pipelines, or full-stack development.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, proactive, fast-moving, and unafraid to operate outside job boundaries to get things done. Ability to thrive in ambiguous environments, set clear goals, and inspire teams to execute.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and business stakeholders.
  • BENEFITS & PERKS

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Employee Equity
  • Employee Discounts, Virtual Wellness Classes, and Pet Insurance And more!!
  • SALARY RANGE

    The compensation range for this role is $250,000-$350,000, depending on location and experience.
