Today thousands of leading brands and agencies use AirOps to win the battle for attention with content that both humans and agents love.
We’re building the platform and profession that will empower a million marketers to become modern leaders — not spectators — as AI reshapes how brands reach their audiences.
We’re backed by awesome investors, including Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, Founder Collective, XFund, Village Global, and Alt Capital, and we’re building a world-class team with in-person hubs in San Francisco, New York, and Montevideo, Uruguay.
As Lead Data Scientist at AirOps, you'll shape how brands win in AI-driven search environments through advanced machine learning and data science. This role combines technical depth with strategic thinking: you'll build production-grade ML systems that directly impact how companies create and optimize content for AI agents and improve their search visibility. You'll work at the intersection of NLP, search algorithms, and large language models to create solutions that help content teams drive measurable business results.
This is a hands-on leadership position where you'll both architect systems and write code. You'll partner with product, engineering, and customer success teams to identify opportunities where ML can transform our platform's capabilities. Your work will directly influence how thousands of brands adapt to the rapidly changing search landscape where AI shapes discovery and engagement.
