About Moloco
- Moloco is an AI-native performance advertising company, bringing the power of AI advertising to the open internet. Founded in 2013 by machine learning engineers who had built AI advertising systems inside the world's largest technology companies, Moloco began from a shared mission: to build that same engine for the open internet.
- Today, Moloco is one company with two businesses, built on the same compound AI system. Moloco Ads is our AI-native performance advertising platform, helping mobile app marketers acquire, retain, and re-engage high-value users across the open internet. Moloco Commerce Media is our AI-native retail media platform, enabling retailers and marketplaces to turn their platforms into thriving ad businesses. Both are powered by CARA (Compound Ad Recommendation Architecture), the AI system behind every Moloco product.
- At Moloco, we bring together those who've already solved hard problems and those with the drive to. Here, we work on some of the complex problems in AI advertising, at a scale and level of sophistication very few companies can offer. Come build what's next.
- The Impact You'll Be Contributing to Moloco:
- As we mature as a business, the bar for how we talk about our business externally has risen significantly. Every claim we make, in marketing content, press, and published research, has to be rigorously substantiated, standing up to scrutiny from customers, competitors, and industry analysts alike. At the same time, our content ambitions have grown: we're producing flagship, externally-published market research, including work with external research and data partners, that shapes how the industry sees Moloco.
- This role is fundamentally about data storytelling: taking complex, often messy data and shaping it into the single clearest narrative that will resonate externally. It's not just about analyzing the data, but helping decide what story it tells and how to tell it. This role also sits at the center of protecting the company by ensuring every public claim we make can be substantiated. You'll execute independently day to day, with good judgment on when to move forward on your own and when to check in. The role is externally-facing and research-driven: the work you produce is published, legally reviewed, and read by customers, press, and partners.
