About Hightouch
Hightouch’s mission is to empower everyone to take action on their data. We’ve pioneered the Composable Customer Data Platform (CDP), which helps companies use their own data warehouse to collect, prepare, and activate customer data for marketing personalization and business operations. Traditionally, acting on data has required engineering time and bandwidth, and left most business users stuck with charts and reports that are unable to take automated action on their data. With Hightouch, every business user, without writing any code, can activate data to streamline critical processes, improve marketing performance, and scale operations.
Our team operates with a focus on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We believe in approaching challenges with a first-principles thinking mindset, moving quickly and embracing our value of efficient execution, and treating each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members who are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.
Hundreds of companies use Hightouch, including PetSmart, Warner Music Group, Spotify, Ramp, Retool, NBA, Plaid, and L’Oreal. We’re based in San Francisco and are remote-friendly. Hightouch is backed by leading investors such as Amplify Partners, ICONIQ Growth, Bain Capital Ventures, Y-Combinator, and Afore Capital.
Our AI mission
Hightouch's mission has always been to empower customers to harness their data to drive business impact. With the rise of AI and machine learning, we are focused on helping growth teams use the wealth of customer data in their warehouse to make personalized and optimized decisions at a scale far beyond human capabilities.
AI Decisioning enables growth teams to continuously experiment with various creative approaches and strategies, personalize content based on a deep understanding of each customer, and optimize outcomes to drive customers towards the best possible results.

- Architecting and building features end-to-end for a new generation of marketing and growth products
- Collaborating closely with customers and cross-functional partners—designers, product managers—to understand real-world behavior
- Working alongside ML engineers to surface insights that empower marketers to make confident decisions.
Looking ahead, AI and machine learning will be the foundation of a new operational paradigm in marketing. Some of the most interesting upcoming challenges for this team include:

We will ask you questions, but we want you to ask us questions! Our technical interviews focus on how you design systems because we believe this is the best way for us to see how you work and for you to see how we collaborate. We don’t ask you to write code to solve technical brainteasers that don’t appear in your day to day job.
