Job Description
About Wunderkind:
Wunderkind ads are 'behaviorally triggered', meaning that ads are served on a premium list of publishers only when a user is done consuming content. Our proprietary tag is integrated directly on the publisher page to track on-site user behavior - making 'net new' ad placements. How we serve the ad is why we are different from our competitors in-market.
Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they're actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off -- it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user's reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser's message more attention and greater engagement.

Wunderkind is pioneering a new category of AI agentic marketing decisioning — where identity meets AI to drive scalable performance across channel.As an agentic AI decisioning platform powered by identity resolution, Wunderkind helps brands expand reach and drive revenue by optimizing personalized messaging across channels and at scale. Wunderkind’s Autonomous Marketing Platform (AMP) is powered by a proprietary identity graph that tracks over 9 billion consumer devices and observes more than 2 trillion digital events annually — transforming anonymous traffic into known customers. Importantly, Wunderkind’s identity solution does not rely on third-party cookies and is designed with privacy in mind — enabling brands to stay compliant while achieving higher match rates and broader reach. By processing real-time click, browse, and purchase behavior across billions of consumers, Wunderkind’s agentic AI decisioning engine dynamically selects and triggers the highest-performing messages. Unlike traditional rules-based automation, Wunderkind’s agentic AI adapts to behavior in real time — learning and optimizing without manual configuration across email, text, social, ads, and onsite experiences. AMP integrates seamlessly with existing martech stacks — via SDKs, APIs, or ESPs — enabling true cross-channel orchestration without the need to replatform. Whether through lightweight SDKs for rapid web and app deployment, flexible APIs for direct data access and orchestration, or native integrations with leading ESPs and CDPs, AMP is designed to plug into any stack on the client’s terms — amplifying what’s already in place, not replacing it. Wunderkind powers over $5 billion in directly attributable revenue annually for leading brands across retail, ecommerce, travel and beyond — often ranking in analytics as a top-three revenue-driving channel in clients’ own analytics platforms.
