Automate the Boring. Amplify the Insight. You know the drill: Endless spreadsheets. KPIs without context. Late alerts. Manual deep dives. But you see what others miss — the opportunity to build AI agents that do the legwork, connect the dots, and surface the "Hey, look here!" moments before humans even blink. We're building a platform of autonomous KPI watchers — AI agents that monitor, detect, alert, and suggest fixes across our digital TV and online video ecosystem. You’ll lead the way. From prototype to production. From metric to machine intelligence.
