Vendelux is building the category-defining platform for event marketing intelligence.

Events are one of the largest and most impactful marketing channels, yet historically one of the least measurable. Vendelux brings transparency and performance to this space — helping companies discover, evaluate, and optimize their event strategy with data.

Our platform powers thousands of event decisions by delivering proprietary, AI-driven insights across hundreds of thousands of events globally. At the core of our platform is a robust ecosystem of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first-party data, enabling richer insights for customers while receiving benchmarking and audience intelligence in return. From identifying the highest ROI conferences to enabling targeted meeting programs, Vendelux helps companies turn events into a predictable and scalable growth engine.

In addition, Vendelux Meetings extends our platform by turning insights into pipeline — using AI to identify high-value attendees and proactively book 1:1 meetings between our customers and their ideal prospects at events. This enables go-to-market teams to drive measurable ROI and maximize every event interaction.

Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series B SaaS company backed by top-tier investors including FirstMark. We partner with many of the fastest-growing companies in the world, and our team includes leaders from Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, FanDuel, Compass, Airbnb, Forter and beyond.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer, Data & AI who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, data engineering, and applied AI to build production-grade systems. You’ll develop, deploy, and scale features that sit at the core of our product. This role is perfect for someone motivated more by impact than method, loves to solve data problems using whatever means necessary, and is eager to see their output shape the user experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Build AI-Powered Features: Architect, implement, and ship data-driven product features, always starting with the customer problem first. From prototyping through production, you’ll apply the right level of technology (whether simple heuristics or advanced AI) to deliver impact.

• Build for Production: Build maintainable and scalable systems, including writing clean, testable code, integrating with new and existing data pipelines, and deploying solutions and services into cloud environments.

• End to End Solution Delivery: Operate as an end-to-end developer in a fast paced startup. This involves identifying opportunities, prototyping solutions, securing stakeholder support, and productionalizing features that deliver measurable business value.

• Applied AI Innovation: Research and apply modern methods (AI agents, LLMs, RAG, embeddings, supervised/unsupervised learning) to power new product capabilities, prioritizing impact and speed over perfection.

• Enhance User Experience Through AI: Translate business problems into AI solutions that improve user workflows, accelerate insights, and drive measurable value.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with business stakeholders and other engineers to turn customer problems into technical requirements and impactful features.

• Promote Best Practices: Establish and evangelize standards for AI/ML engineering and data quality across the team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering or data engineering, with at least 3+ years building AI/ML-driven products.

• Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency in SQL.

• Experience with modern AI frameworks (eg HuggingFace, LangChain, etc.) and designing data pipelines (Airflow, Dagster, or equivalent),

• Solid understanding of cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Experience applying LLMs and generative AI in production, including prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM deployment.

• Strong grasp of fundamental data science and machine learning techniques, with the ability to balance research and engineering tradeoffs.

• Demonstrated ability to translate business problems into data solutions that drive business value.

• Proven track record of shipping user-facing features with measurable impact.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate across data, engineering, and product teams.

• Startup experience preferred.

Why Join Us

• Direct product impact: Your models will shape how event marketers discover, connect, and measure ROI.
