About the role

Active Intelligence is already live - autonomous agents serving 180,000+ businesses, with real traction and a roadmap that gets more ambitious with every release.
What we need now is the product leader who accelerates the layer that makes all of it smarter.
You'll work alongside our Head of Applied AI, Head of Active Intelligence Engineering, and a team of product leaders who are each driving pieces of the autonomous marketing vision.

Partner with Applied AI Teams to Build the Context Layer.
You lead how context matures, what signals matter, and how it compounds across the product.
Build the Deep Reasoning Agent.
Leverage frontier model capabilities - extended thinking, multi-step research, cross-source synthesis - to create a marketing intelligence agent that actually thinks about what's happening.
You own the loop where deeper context produces more powerful reasoning, which drives more engagement, which generates richer context.
Own quality and evaluation.
Design the eval frameworks - golden sets, quality rubrics, output grading - that determine whether the reasoning agent is actually good, not just impressive in a demo.
You set the bar for what "marketing-grade intelligence" means and build the measurement systems to hold it.
You operate with founder-level drive - you see the gap, you build the prototype, you make the case, you ship it.
Your growth here is defined by your own ambition and the impact you create, not by a ladder or a process.

You combine sharp instincts for what makes an experience genuinely useful with the technical credibility to engage deeply on system architecture, data models, and model behavior.
Former engineering experience or an equivalent technical foundation is a strong signal.
You know that shipping AI features is easy and shipping reliable AI features is the actual job.
You've seen infrastructure projects lose their way and you know how to keep shipping things that matter.
You work at the intersection of data/ML, the agent platform, and the broader product org.
The ideal candidate will bring:
Direct experience shaping data platforms, context systems, or structured intelligence layers - you've made consequential decisions about what data to capture, how to structure it, and how to make it useful.
Track record of defining new product capabilities in fast-moving, ambiguous domains where you couldn't copy someone else's playbook.
Production experience with frontier AI models and agentic architectures - you've learned the hard way what works in production versus in a demo.
You're joining at the moment where the foundation is proven and the next layer of intelligence is what separates us from everyone else.

We care more about what you've done and how you think than how long you've been doing it.

When you join our team, you'll not only have the opportunity to make a significant impact, but also enjoy a range of benefits tailored to support your personal and career development.
Active Intelligence is real, it's growing, and the roadmap ahead is the most ambitious product vision in marketing technology.

Work alongside brilliant, passionate colleagues in an environment that values innovation, teamwork, and mutual support.
ActiveCampaign is an equal opportunity employer.
