How to Actually Get Hired
Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
There's an ATS, but at POMO AI, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at POMO AI
What to show them
Pomo's intelligence system does several technically hard things simultaneously: it monitors competitor ad creative and positioning in real time, detects demand signal shifts across external sources, infers what those signals mean specifically for each brand's constraints, and generates ranked action recommendations that are contextually correct rather than generically plausible. Building that reasoning layer at the reliability level that a CMO will trust with their morning brief is a non-trivial ML problem, and it is the core of what the seed funding is for. Core skills: Python, LLM orchestration and fine-tuning for domain-specific reasoning, multi-source real-time signal processing, reinforcement learning from human feedback (Praneet's direct research background), advertising platform API integration (Google Ads, Meta Marketing API, TikTok Ads), competitive intelligence data pipelines, agentic AI system design with guardrail architecture. Proof of work: Build a minimal agent that monitors a brand's Google Ads performance and a competitor's LinkedIn creative simultaneously, detects a divergence in messaging strategy, and generates a one-sentence recommended action with a confidence score. The architecture does not need to be production-grade. It needs to show you understand the closed-loop intelligence problem at an implementation level. Share the repo with hello@usepomo.ai.

Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at POMO AI ( people). They notice.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what POMO AI is dealing with right now — The name Pomo is a play on "post-modern advertising", the team's thesis that the category of marketing tooling is being rebuilt from scratch, and what you'd do about it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
