**About Uplane (YC F25)** Companies waste billions on bad ads, mismatched landing pages, and poor budget allocation. Uplane fixes this by replacing a patchwork of agencies, spreadsheets, and siloed tools with one self-improving AI system.

We are building the AI engine that will manage and spend the world's marketing budget. **About The Role** We're seeking a hands-on Forward Deployed Engineer to be the technical backbone of our managed service business.
