Careers at Zalify
Builders welcome.
Zalify is a small senior team of engineers and growth specialists. We build the MER platform for Shopify brands and run growth work on it. We hire people who own an outcome end to end and do the work themselves.
What we're hiring for, right now.

Marketing
Talent Manager
Los Angeles or Remote
Grow the creator network for the brands we work with. Source creators, build long-term relationships, and run the early UGC test rounds that feed our paid ads, working in Mogiu, our creator-partnership product.
Note on the title: "Talent Manager" is sometimes used to mean managing a creator's deals. At Zalify it's the opposite side of the table — you work for the brand, sourcing and coordinating with creators to deliver UGC and partnerships for our clients.
What you'll do
Source and outreach to influencers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube — building a network that fits each client brand.
Negotiate deliverables, timelines, and rates. Own the deal flow from first DM to signed brief.
Coordinate UGC test rounds: brief creators, collect cuts, and hand the winners to the paid-ads team to scale.
Track creator performance and feed data back into the network — double down on what's working.
We're looking for
Must-have
AI-fluent. Using AI every day is a must — for sourcing, drafting outreach, summarizing calls, building briefs, anything. Show us how you use AI in your application email.
Experience working with influencers, talent, or creator marketing (agency, brand, or platform side). We care about taste and judgment, not years.
Comfortable on DMs and calls all day. Strong written communication.
An existing creator network is a plus — not a requirement.
Based in Los Angeles preferred; remote considered for the right person.
Growth
MER Owner
Shenzhen, Los Angeles or Remote
Own the MER of the brands we work with: total revenue over total marketing spend, one number for the whole store. You decide where the next dollar goes across ads, creators, email and the storefront, and you answer for the result.
Note on the title: MER is the marketing efficiency ratio. This is not a media-buyer role and not an account-manager role. You own the number for a small set of brands, and the team and the Zalify platform do the work with you.
What you'll do
Agree each brand's MER target, and split the budget across Meta, Google, creators and email to reach it.
Read the numbers in Zalify every day: attributed orders, spend by ad account, results by creative, revenue by email. Decide what to scale, what to pause and what to test next.
Brief the work that moves the number: new creative, landing-page changes, flows and campaigns, creator rounds.
Report to the brand in plain language: what changed, why, and what happens next.
Tell our product team what the platform is missing. You are its most demanding user.
We're looking for
Must-have
AI-fluent. Using AI every day is a must, for analysis, briefs, reports, anything. Show us how you use AI in your application email.
You have owned a marketing budget and its result for a DTC or Shopify brand, in-house or at an agency. We care about judgment with numbers, not years.
At home in Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads, and able to read a P&L: margin, CAC, repeat rate.
Clear writing. Most of the job is deciding and explaining.
Based in Shenzhen or Los Angeles preferred; remote considered for the right person.
What you can expect on day one.
01
Builders, not approvers
Everyone on the team ships work. If you're more comfortable assigning than doing, this isn't the place.
02
Senior team, no hand-offs
The person who scopes a piece of work is the person who does it.
03
Move at coding-model speed
We use the best tools available — Claude, Cursor, anything that compounds leverage. Lean teams shipping like big ones.
04
Own the outcome
The brief is the result, not the deliverable. We're judged by what the brand actually grew, not what we filed.
