Software Engineer

About the role

Gradial is building the AI-native system of work for enterprise marketing. Our agents turn ideas into live campaigns by executing across the tools, teams, and workflows enterprises already use—from content authoring and campaign assembly to quality assurance and brand compliance. We give marketers and creatives more time to shape brands, understand customers, and create work that moves people.

We’re tackling some of the hardest problems in applied AI: building agent harnesses, sandboxed execution environments, and orchestration that enable agents to plan, act, and verify their work reliably at enterprise scale. We’re growing rapidly, winning Fortune 500 and enterprise customers including AWS, T-Mobile, and Prudential. Our $65 million Series C led by Insight Partners is accelerating that momentum.

Join us to help define how people and AI agents work together. We move with urgency, reason from first principles, and take ownership from idea to customer impact. You’ll shape the product, own consequential problems, and build systems that some of the world’s leading brands depend on every day.

The Role

As a Software Engineer at Gradial, you'll work directly with our CPO to prototype, build and launch entirely new AI-powered products, with an initial focus on paid media integrations. You'll operate at the frontier of applied AI, developing scalable software solutions for some of the world's largest companies, including T-Mobile and Amazon.

We're looking for a scrappy, high-agency engineer who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly and takes ownership from concept to deployment. You'll play a critical role in exploring new product opportunities, solving complex technical challenges and building the systems and capabilities that shape what Gradial delivers next.

What You'll Own

- Own the end-to-end development of new AI-powered applications and services, from early prototypes to production deployment.

- Partner directly with the CPO to explore, prototype and validate new product opportunities, translating ambitious ideas into working software.

- Design, build and deploy integrations across paid media systems, enabling new capabilities and workflows for enterprise customers.

- Develop rapid prototypes to test technical approaches, gather feedback and turn promising concepts into scalable solutions.

- Drive technical decisions across the stack, balancing speed, reliability, scalability and performance.

- Collaborate with engineering, product and AI research teams to integrate emerging AI capabilities into production-ready applications.

- Navigate complex APIs, external systems and technical challenges to build reliable, high-quality integrations.

- Take ownership of ambiguous engineering problems with minimal direction, identifying solutions and moving quickly to deliver results.

What We Need

- Exceptional technical ability and a demonstrated track record of building and shipping software, regardless of years of professional experience.
