About The Position

Evertune is building the first AI discovery platform for modern marketers. As large language models (LLMs) become the go-to source for recommendations – we help brands understand exactly what AI is saying about them, where they stand against competitors, and how to show up more often in AI-powered answers. Our platform turns black-box AI behavior into actionable insights, so marketing teams can make faster, smarter decisions that drive growth. Founded by leaders who helped scale The Trade Desk into the world’s leading ad tech platform, we bring deep expertise in digital advertising, data, and high-growth environments. Now, we’re pioneering a new category at the intersection of AI, SEO, and brand strategy. We raised a $15M Series A led by Felicis Ventures, with support from Eniac, NextView, Roger Ehrenberg, and leaders from OpenAI, Google, Meta, Uber, and more. This gives us the momentum to move faster and build the first enterprise-grade AI marketing suite. Backed by top-tier VC investors and trusted by forward-thinking brands, we have the resources to scale – but what really defines us is our culture. We move fast, think boldly, and believe the best ideas win regardless of title. If you're excited about shaping the future of how brands grow in the age of AI, you’ll thrive here. You’ll be joining Evertune’s software engineering team - a tight-knit, high-velocity group, with most of us based in Seattle and New York. While we span time zones, we operate with tight alignment and shared urgency. Our engineers optimize for high velocity: we ship fast, sweat the details, and genuinely enjoy building together. As a foundational hire, you'll be helping to shape not just how we code – but how we grow, communicate, and scale. As the Lead Full Stack, Front End Engineer at Evertune, you’ll shape the future of how marketers interact with AI. This is a hands-on player/coach role – ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of design, data, and engineering. You’ll build polished, performant interfaces across our platform while leading and managing a small team of junior engineers. You’ll contribute directly to core product development, collaborate closely with our design and product leads, and bring thoughtful structure to the front-end stack. While you’ll operate primarily on the client side, you'll also work across our Python-based back end to deliver seamless, full-stack experiences. This is a high-impact role for an engineer who wants both technical ownership and team-building responsibility in a fast-paced, high-trust environment. We’re looking for someone who thrives on building, leading, and taking full ownership – the kind of person who wants to grow a company, not just contribute to one. We believe the future of analytics is AI-powered, dynamic, and adaptive – not static dashboards. We’re building interfaces that anticipate what matters and highlight it at the exact right moment. If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of UI/UX in the age of AI, and about creating cohesion across analytics, content, and creation tools, we’d love to have you lead the way. Prior management experience is very strongly preferred – especially if you’ve led in a startup or hands-on environment. However, if you don’t yet have formal management experience but have a strong desire to grow others, lead by example, and have mentored teammates or interns, we still encourage you to apply.

Requirements

Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and working alongside Python-based back-end systems (or similar)
Comfort with cloud platforms (preferably GCP), CI/CD workflows, and performance monitoring
Forward-thinking about how AI is changing UI/UX – whether that’s experimenting with AI-powered interfaces, incorporating LLMs into workflows, or just being obsessed with the space
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional settings with design, product, and business stakeholders
Demonstrated ability to lead projects and influence technical direction
Mindset of leverage: you use tools (including AI) to accelerate your own output and help others move faster
