StackAdapt is a Remote First company, we are open to candidates located anywhere in North America for this position.
About the team: The AI Chatbot team is focused on building a copilot platform experience where users can optimize their digital advertising campaigns by blending an LLM chat-based copilot with the precision and control of traditional UI elements.

The team is also improving our internal copilot that currently answers hundreds of questions from StackAdapters on a daily basis.
