About the role

Timbuk2 is building the intelligence, measurement, and field-truth layer for physical-world media.

Our product, Pikaboo/CortexX, helps media owners, agencies, strategists, and advertisers move from fragmented inventory and weak measurement toward trusted, explainable, data-rich planning and selling.

We are hiring a technical owner for our mobility and measurement data-product layer.

You will own the methodology, data products, confidence labels, source lineage, and production logic behind products like Footfall Intelligence, Site / Place Profiles, Media Measurement Packs, Audience & Context Profiles, and Attribution Methodology.

It is a role for someone who can turn messy mobility, geospatial, field, and commercial data into defensible products that people can actually use.
