About Emplifi

is the only unifying social marketing, commerce, and customer care for more than 20,000 brands worldwide. Powered by Fuel AI, built on more than 5T of data, and recognized as a leader by leading industry analysts, Emplifi helps enterprise teams orchestrate connected customer journeys and deliver personalized experiences at scale, turning every customer touchpoint into a competitive advantage.

About the Team

You’ll lead engineering for Emplifi Publisher, our enterprise social media tool and a core part of our Autonomous CX platform. Publisher uses Fuel AI to automate content scheduling across channels, predict the best times to post, and write copy in multiple languages, all from a single dashboard. Behind it sits a governance layer with custom, multi-stage approval workflows, so global brands with complex regional teams can publish at scale without risking brand safety. That combination of AI, scale, and enterprise-grade workflows makes for interesting engineering problems.

You’ll report to our Chief Product and Technology Officer and work in a leadership trio with a Product Area Director and a UX Lead, who jointly own the area’s success. You’ll also work with other Engineering Area Directors and our Engineering Platform team.
