Careers

Let’s build the operating system for AI advertising together

We’re paving the path for millions of brands and products to be discovered and interacted with inside the conversations people are already having with AI. We’d love to have you join us.

Open roles

We have 2 open positions

Each role is described in full below. If none of them is quite right but you can see where you would add something, we would still like to hear from you.

Marketing

(01)
Chief Marketing OfficerSan Francisco · Full-time

Define and own how Thrad goes to market. Conversational advertising has no settled vocabulary yet, and the company that shapes it will be the one brands come to first. You will set the narrative, take it to advertisers and publishers, and build the demand behind it.

Engineering

(01)
Forward Deployed EngineerSan Francisco · Full-time

Work alongside the advertisers and AI platforms integrating Thrad. You will build what each integration genuinely needs, in the room with the customer, then bring those patterns back so the product absorbs them.

Apply

A repo, a site, a deck, a piece of writing.

PDF or Word, under 5MB.

This role is based in San Francisco

A few sentences is plenty.

Optional. Something you started, or a problem you picked up without being asked.

Benefits

What we offer

Real ownership, early

You take a function outright rather than waiting your turn. There is no queue for the work that matters.

A category still being written

Conversational advertising is new ground, and its conventions are being set now by very few people.

Direct access to the founders

Short lines and quick answers, with a clear view of how and why decisions get made.

Work at the frontier

The work is AI-native throughout, so you build genuinely current skills by doing the job.

The tools you need

A high-spec machine and a budget for the AI tooling you work best with, without an approval to chase.

Time to look after yourself

Protected time in the week for training and recovery, held open on purpose.

(05) Principles

How we work at Thrad

  1. 01

    A bias to action

    We keep decisions small and reversible, and we would rather learn from something shipped than debate it another week.

  2. 02

    Ownership end to end

    You take a problem from the first sketch through to the outcome, with the context and the support to see it through.

  3. 03

    AI-native by default

    We build with AI in our own work, not only in the product. It is how a small team covers a lot of ground.

  4. 04

    Clear and direct

    Feedback is specific, early, and goes in every direction. Nobody has to guess where things stand.

  5. 05

    Deliberately small

    A compact team keeps your work visible and the path from idea to launch short.
