Job Description

The Company You’ll Join

At Qloo, we believe that understanding consumer preferences is the key to creating meaningful experiences. Our cutting-edge Taste AI™ technology analyzes vast amounts of data—over half a billion records spanning public figures, places, and cultural entities—to uncover deep insights into what people love. To brands connect with their ideal customers, Qloo sifts through the noise to reveal the signals that matter.

And we do it without relying on personally identifiable information. Qloo is committed to privacy, ensuring that our insights are derived solely from anonymized cultural and behavioral data, never personally identifiable information.

Following our Series C funding, we’re growing our team to expand our reach and continue redefining what’s possible with Taste AI. This role will be instrumental in driving that next stage of growth. Read more about our Series C funding here.
