  "account": "<Converge Hiring Founding Platform Engineer>\n\nConverge, a startup building AI agents for ad scaling, is seeking a founding platform engineer. The team, based in New York City, has scaled to $3M in ARR and serves 200+ customers. They are a small group of 13, with three product engineers already handling complex systems typically not tackled until later stages of a company's growth.\n\nThe role involves owning and building out the platform that powers the company's ad buying agents. These agents automate all aspects of the growth engine, from launching and scaling campaigns to learning from results and generating new ads. Currently, the agents manage over 90% of budget changes in ad accounts, handling daily budgets exceeding $1M.\n\nThe company looks for individuals who are passionate about joining their mission and can demonstrate great fit through their past experiences. They aim to work through a typical infrastructure problem Converge faces during a day-long process, which includes meeting the team and building something together.\n\nApplications are fully paid, and the process can be completed in just two days. Converge emphasizes the importance of a quick decision-making pace, which aligns with their own rapid growth and development.",
