Agentio Inc.
Scientist job in New York, NY
About Agentio Agentio enables marketers to buy creator led ads as easily and scalably as Meta or Google ads-automating sourcing, pricing, contracting, delivery, and measurement with AI-so work that took months now happens in minutes. We're on a mission to transform a $800B digital ad ecosystem by shifting digital ad spend into the hands of creators. That means better outcomes for marketers and enabling creators to live off their work-finally being paid in proportion to the value they create. That shift is accelerating: Unilever's CEO has said the company will move roughly half of its ad budget into social and creators-Unilever is among the world's largest advertisers, spending around $9-10B annually. As these dollars move, they need performance-grade pipes; Agentio is how those dollars flow to creators with the speed, control, and measurement marketers expect. We enable brands like Uber, DoorDash, and Bombas to run creator campaigns with the same rigor, control, and accountability as their core performance channels.
Agentio has raised $56M to date at a $340M valuation, including a recent Series B led by Forerunner, which followed our Series A within a calendar year. Our investors also include Benchmark, Craft, and AlleyCorp. Agentio has been named to Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Startups, 2025, and our platform is already used and loved by the world's leading marketers and creators. We are just getting started!
Data is Our Growth Engine
Our platform routes budgets to the right creators, at the right price, with clear attribution. We ingest rich first-party signals across creative briefs, audiences, content, and outcomes; link them to conversions; and train LLM-driven ranking and pricing models that guide every step-from discovery and acceptance likelihood to pacing and scale. Each campaign feeds back new data, creating a compounding learning loop that makes matching, forecasting, and measurement more efficient with every use.
We're expanding our data practice and hiring foundational teammates. Whether you analyze behavior, model outcomes, run experiments, or build robust data and ML tooling, you'll have an immediate impact-shaping product decisions, improving measurement, and delivering the pipelines and services that power the platform.
At Agentio, data drives decisions-what we build, how we price, and where we scale-so creators and brands win together. If you're curious, collaborative, and excited to own outcomes in a fast-moving environment, let's talk.
You
Nimble, hungry, humble, and adaptive to change
Excited to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment
Proven track record of applying analytical/statistical methods to tackle real-world problems using big data.
A true problem-solver and self-starter, with incredible ambition and drive
Competitive and highly motivated to exceed expectations
Ready to roll up your sleeves, get things done, and work harder than you've likely ever worked before - with far greater reward
A positive, honest, empathetic, and curious teammate
You understand that Agentio is building in-person, and is in-office 5 days/week
What You'll Get
The opportunity to build a first-of-its kind business as an early team-member and make a meaningful impact in the way brands share their stories and creators live off their work.
Crash-course in what it takes to scale a start-up with first-hand exposure to the different foundational business drivers and needs.
The chance to work with an exceptional team and help build our engineering culture
A collaborative, transparent, and engaging work environment.
Benefits & Perks
