Predictive analytics and audience data for direct marketing and nonprofit acquisition
Wiland applies machine learning to consumer spending signals and intent data to build audiences for acquisition, retention, and lifetime value optimization. The tech stack—Spark, PySpark, Hadoop, R, Alteryx, SQL—reflects a data-engineering-first operation optimized for large-scale batch processing and statistical modeling rather than real-time inference. Active hiring is concentrated in data roles (3 open), with sales and client success filling out the rest; the company is balancing new product development (hybrid data+audience offerings, marketsignals) against sales-cycle friction and revenue targets.
