Description
About Us:
We are bootstrapped and has been profitable since day one. We built one of the most efficient programmatic acquisition engines on the planet: processing billions of ad decisions a day, generating terabytes of live behavioral data, and turning it into margins most SaaS companies would kill for.
At the core of that engine is a team of data scientists and ML engineers running tens of billions of sub-second predictions a day, deciding in milliseconds which impression is worth buying and what its worth.
Now were taking everything weve learned about how people move through the web and putting it into our most innovative consumer product yet: Ace AI, an AI-native browser already reaching millions of people, built to simplify and improve everyday online life with the help of AI.
This is a rare opportunity: a category that hasnt meaningfully changed in over a decade, and a profitable company with the data and the acquisition engine to win it on its own terms.
Come build it with us.
