CreativeX is building the system of creative control for an AI-first marketing world. As AI rewrites how content is made, evaluated, and distributed, marketers need a foundation they can trust and a way to bring consistency, intelligence, and governance to creative  over a decade, we’ve powered smarter creative decisions for the world’s biggest brands, including Google, Unilever, Pepsi, Bayer, Mondelez, Heineken, shipped category-defining products, and proven that creative is the single biggest driver of marketing performance

We use computer vision and other machine learning techniques to extract creative data from our client’s digital advertising copy and transform those previously dark signals into a standardised data model at industrial scale. This creates a new, unique and powerful first party data set that represents the last and most impactful untapped reservoir of advertising performance.

This is the problem CreativeX is focussed on solving. We’re an end-to-end solution to ingest, process, and analyse content  help brands isolate creative elements so they can be analysed against downstream ad impact metrics, from clickthrough rates to brand lift.

Our objective is to help marketing organisations power every creative decision with data.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own the reliability, performance and scalability of the production infrastructure behind every CreativeX product. You’ll be a part of the Platform Engineering team, which builds the infrastructure, shared services and self-service tools our engineers rely on, and runs the systems that collect, process and serve the ad data and creative scoring our customers depend on.

We’re investing in our core architecture: evolving our data layer, scaling our processing pipelines for higher throughput and automating more of how we process creative assets. You’ll lead the database migrations and re-architecture work that make this possible, and build the tooling that lets other engineers deploy, test and debug. This is a systems-level role so you’ll write code, but most of your impact will come from how our systems are designed, run, observed and scaled.

You enjoy taking a system that works and making it faster, more reliable and easier to run, and this role is an opportunity to shape the platform that CreativeX’s next stage of growth is built on.
