With expertise in business strategy, media, CRM, addressable and integrated brand communications, performance marketing, and technology, GALE creates marketing systems and communications that grow businesses. GALE delivers strong outcomes for its partners in automotive, QSR, retail, gaming, entertainment, telecom and more. The agency currently has offices in New York, Detroit, Singapore, Toronto, Austin, Los Angeles, London, and Bengaluru. Our teams are connected by a set of core values that inform everything we do, from how we hire to how we work together: values like Everyone Matters, No Silos, and Masters of Our Craft. If you’re driven by a passion to build something great, a desire to innovate, and a commitment to achieve excellence in your craft, GALE is a great place for you. About the role -- As a Team Lead, Core Technology, you’ll leverage your technical depth and problem-solving skills to build reliable, lightweight, high-performing web applications and platform services. While your strength is back-end development (Python/Django and related frameworks), you’re comfortable collaborating across the stack and are conversant with modern front-end ecosystems (React/Angular/Vue). You thrive in an agile, sprint-driven environment and bring a strong engineering mindset: clean architecture, test-driven development, automated testing, CI/CD, and scalable system design. You’re also excited by the evolution of AI engineering - especially RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), LLM integrations, and agentic workflows. You can take a problem from ambiguity to delivery—design → build → test → deploy → iterate. WHAT YOU “MIGHT” DO (No day is the same) Design: Create technical designs (HLD/LLD) for new capabilities and improvements, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable. Backend engineering (Python): Build and enhance backend services and APIs primarily in Python/Django (and related frameworks as needed), focusing on performance, reliability, and clean architecture. Database & data layer: Work with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/Redshift) and support data modeling, query optimization, and production readiness. AI/RAG & Agent work: Design and implement custom RAG workflows and LLM integrations—covering retrieval, prompt orchestration, grounding, and connecting to vector stores (e.g., Pinecone/FAISS) where applicable. Data pipelines: Contribute to building/operating data pipelines and jobs using AWS and open-source tools (e.g., EMR/Glue/Redshift, Airflow/Spark)—including orchestration, monitoring, and reliability improvements. Engineering excellence: Write code that holds up in TDD, build automated tests, participate in reviews, and support CI/CD practices using tools like GitHub and JIRA. Sprint ownership & leadership: Independently run sprints for a small team—planning, task breakdown, execution tracking, and clear communication with internal stakeholders and clients. ## WHO YOU ARE 6+ years of strong experience in Python, with deep expertise in Django and other frameworks. Strong backend foundation and familiarity with frameworks such as Django / Flask / Pyramid (or equivalents). Solid experience working with AWS (or similar cloud platforms) in production environments. Strong understanding of: HLD/LLD, system design fundamentals, API design, and scalable architectures Engineering best practices: testing, code quality, documentation, and maintainability Hands-on experience building AI/LLM solutions, including: RAG pipelines and agent workflows Tools/frameworks such as LangChain, Pydantic, and related ecosystems Familiarity with AI agent design patterns and best practices · ## About GALE ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: GALE is a business agency that takes an audience-first, data-driven approach to strategy, brand storytelling, media, and technology to grow businesses. - **Entity Type**: Private (Privately Held) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2014 - **Founders**: Not publicly available ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Advertising Services, Marketing, Business Consulting - **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise clients seeking integrated marketing, CRM, media, and technology solutions - **Mission or purpose statement**: To bring business insights to brand storytelling and activate across every channel, breaking down silos to create integrated marketing systems that grow businesses. ## Products & Services - **Business Strategy**: Consulting on business growth, audience insights, and market positioning. - **Brand Storytelling (Creative)**: Creative development and brand communications. - **Media**: Media planning and buying across all channels (earned recognition as Adweek U.S. Media Agency of the Year). - **CRM & Loyalty**: Customer relationship management and loyalty program design. - **Performance Marketing**: Paid search, paid social, and data-driven performance campaigns. - **Marketing Technology & Strategy**: Technology stack implementation, data integration, and AI-driven marketing solutions. - **Analytics & Data**: Advanced analytics, measurement, and AI engineering to optimize marketing ROI. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (privately held) - **Key Metric**: Annual revenue of **$166.5M** (latest available data) [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/galepartners) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed; client roster includes major national and global brands (specific clients not listed publicly). - **Growth Signals**: - Named **Ad Age Business Transformation Agency of the Year**, **Adweek U.S. Media Agency of the Year**, **Campaign US Advertising Agency of the Year**, **Ad Age Data & Analytics Agency of the Year**, and **#5 on the Ad Age A List** [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/galepartners). - Headcount of **574 employees** (though down -2.4% YoY) [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/galepartners). - 12 offices across 2 countries (US and Singapore) with presence in 8 countries total [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/galepartners). ## Competitive Advantages - **Integrated "Business Agency" Model**: Unlike traditional creative or media agencies, GALE combines business strategy, data, creative, media, CRM, and technology under one roof, breaking down departmental silos. - **Award-Winning Track Record**: Multiple Agency of the Year titles across different disciplines (Media, Data & Analytics, Business Transformation, Advertising) signal broad, recognized excellence. - **Data-Driven DNA**: A core focus on analytics and audience-first strategy, with a dedicated analytics and AI engineering team, sets them apart from pure creative shops. - **Global & Diverse Footprint**: Presence in major US markets (NYC, Denver, Austin, Chicago, Kansas City, LA) plus Toronto, Bengaluru, and Singapore provides a global talent pool and client reach. ## Strategic Focus - **AI & Technology Integration**: Heavy investment in AI engineering and marketing technology, with annual technical training for all employees covering technologies like AI [gale.agency](https://www.gale.agency/careers). - **Growth Through Talent Development**: Formalized career coaching, education stipends, and a year-long development program for recent grads indicate a focus on building internal capability. - **Expanding Integrated Offerings**: Continued emphasis on combining advisory, creative, media, and CRM into seamless client solutions. ## Why Work Here - **Culture & Values**: Emphasizes a supportive, inclusive culture with a strong DEI commitment ("Everyone Matters").
