About Tofu

Tofu is an early stage generative AI startup located in the SF Bay Area (San Mateo is our HQ) building a unified platform for creating hyper-personalized, omnichannel campaigns at scale that converts leads for B2B marketing teams. We sell to mid-market and enterprise Marketing leaders and work closely with their demand generation, product marketing, and content teams. Our founders come from companies like Meta, Google, Twitter and Slack and have deep expertise both in the technical domain (AI/ML/NLP) and the business domain (B2B marketing), so we deeply understand the pain-points of our customers and understand how to apply technology to build a scalable product users love. We are backed by some of the top VCs in the Bay Area and are well capitalized. 

About the Role
