Full Job Description

NewForm is building the creative intelligence layer for paid advertising. We pair an in-house creative pod with Framework, our proprietary statistical testing engine that instruments every ad it ships, to build a creative ontology for each brand: a living map of what works, why it works, and how to make more of it. The service we sell is the creative your paid spend needs. The asset we build is yours to keep. We work with brands like Kalshi, Babbel, Acorns, and Western Union. We oversee north of $100M in annual ad spend, ship 3,000+ ads a month, and Framework has run 6,000+ structured creative tests to date. We're at $7M ARR, doubling YoY for two years running. THE ROLE This is a Palantir-style Forward-Deployed Engineer role adapted for the creative supply chain. You won't be writing tickets handed to you by a PM. You'll be in the room when a strategist hits a workflow ceiling, deciding in real time whether the answer is a new Framework feature, a one-off automation, or a data pipeline that didn't exist yesterday. Then you build it. You'll embed with our services pods: strategists, creators, media buyers, Creative Intelligence Leads and build the software they need to run faster, learn more, and ship more winning ads. You own a roadmap, not a ticket queue. The roadmap is generated by what you observe sitting next to operators in real client work. The work compounds in two directions. The bespoke things you ship for one client become the next generalized Framework feature. The patterns you spot across the services team become the roadmap. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Embed with one or two pods at a time. Sit in their reviews, briefs, and post-mortems. Understand the work end to end before you write code. - Build into Framework when the problem is structural. Build bespoke when the problem is one client's. Make the call on which is which. - Own the end-to-end technical lifecycle for client deployments: onboarding, ad account integrations (Meta, TikTok, Google), data reconciliatio
