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. It creates ads, builds matching landing pages, allocates budgets across different channels, and more. 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. Your job is to make AI-generated landing pages convert and measure correctly: set up and test performance-marketing tracking, wire up commerce and conversion features, fix and fine-tune pages, and act as the technical point of contact for our clients. The work sits between engineering and client relations.
Why Join
- Be an early team member at a well-funded, YC-backed startup
- Solve a massive problem in a massive market
- Take ownership and grow quickly; your work directly drives client results (and revenue)
- Remote-first contract with a fast-moving, ambitious, fun, humble team
Responsibilities
- Performance Marketing Tracking: Set up, implement, and test conversion tracking on landing pages.
- Conversion & Commerce Integrations: Integrate purchase and checkout features (e.g. Shopify) so customers can buy directly on the AI-built landing pages. Wire up forms, payment flows, and webhooks.
- Landing Page Fixes & Fine-Tuning: Debug, polish, and fine-tune landing pages built by our AI marketing strategists, including front-end fixes, responsive issues, layout, and page speed.
- Client Tech Support: Be the technical point of contact for our clients via Slack. Troubleshoot issues, communicate clearly and proactively, and own problems through to resolution.
- Learn, Adapt & Automate: Our stack keeps growing. Stay curious and flexible, picking up new tracking tools, integrations, and platforms as our needs evolve. Automate as much of your own work as you can.
Requirements
- Some Front-end coding experience: You're comfortable building and editing responsive front-ends with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Junior candidates are welcome, and we care more about raw ability and drive than years of experience.
- Hard-working, smart, and humble. You take ownership and are willing to solve whatever problem you or the customers may face. You don't give up until the issue is solved.
- A people person with fluent written English. You'll support clients directly over Slack, so you communicate clearly, proactively, and with patience.
- A fast learner and problem-solver: You're excited to pick up performance-marketing tracking and new tools quickly. No prior tracking experience required.
Nice to Have (not required)
- Experience with performance-marketing tracking (GTM, GA4, pixels, conversion APIs): a real plus, but not required, and we'll help you learn it
- Experience integrating Shopify or checkout/payment flows
- Previous touchpoints with marketing, AdTech, or an agency/consulting environment
Tech Stack (what you'll work with)
- Tracking & Analytics: Google Tag Manager, GA4, Meta Pixel + Conversions API, Google Ads / TikTok / LinkedIn pixels
- Commerce & Integrations: Shopify, checkout/payment, forms, webhooks
- Front-end: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Collaboration: Slack, Notion, Linear
- …and more. Our stack evolves, so flexibility to learn new tools is expected
