About

Wildcard helps ecommerce brands win in AI shopping. We show brands where their products appear across AI surfaces, where competitors are winning, what changes will improve visibility and business outcomes, and we build agents and workflows to help automate that execution.

Who you'll work with

You’ll work directly with me, Kaushik Mahorker, founder of Wildcard.

Previously at Scale AI, I built the ecommerce enrichment engine behind the company’s largest pilot across 400K SKUs, 2.8M attributes, and hundreds of taxonomies, helping secure $15M+ in contracts with major retailers and marketplaces.

That experience made something clear: shopping discovery is being rebuilt for an AI-first world, and most brands are not prepared for the shift.

Founding Engineer

We’re looking for a Founding Engineer to help shape both the product and the company from an early stage.

This is a high-ownership role. You’ll help decide what gets built, how it gets built, what gets prioritized, and how we move as the market evolves.
