Network Engineer Remote Internship Jobs in Kentucky

This is a fully remote role, open to candidates in North America, LATAM, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

We're a live commerce and social marketplace built for the Middle East. We combine livestream shopping, social engagement, real-time auctions, direct product listings, seller tools, secure checkout, and buyer protection into one marketplace experience.

We are building a highly automated, data-driven, and AI-powered platform where buyers receive personalized shopping experiences, sellers receive intelligent growth tools, and internal teams operate more efficiently through automation.

Our next major phase is to build the AI and data foundation that powers personalization, buyer and seller segmentation, lifecycle automation, marketing automation, lookalike campaigns, recommendations, seller intelligence, and operational automation.

We are looking for a highly hands-on Lead AI & Data Platform Engineer to own our site's AI, data platform, and growth automation infrastructure.

This is not a pure research role. We need someone who can design, build, deploy, measure, and improve production systems. You will work across data engineering, event tracking, AI automation, LLM integrations, recommendation systems, marketing data activation, lifecycle automation, and internal AI tools.

You will be responsible for turning raw marketplace activity into clean, structured, actionable intelligence that powers product decisions, buyer personalization, seller growth, automated marketing campaigns, lookalike audiences, CRM automation, notifications, and executive reporting.

You should be comfortable moving between architecture and implementation, choosing when to build internally, when to use open-source tools, and when third-party APIs make more business sense.

• Build timing intelligence to decide the best moment to send each message, such as before a relevant livestream starts, after a buyer shows intent, when a seller goes live, when a similar product is listed, or when a buyer is likely to return.
• Build recommendation logic for products, livestreams, sellers, categories, auctions, and offers.
• Create automated journeys for buyer activation, first purchase, second purchase, reactivation, VIP buyers, inactive buyers, category-based buyers, and high-intent livestream viewers.

• Build frequency capping, quiet hours, channel prioritization, message ranking, and suppression logic to avoid spamming users.
• Connect lifecycle campaigns back to the central data warehouse to measure open rates, click-through rates, conversion, GMV, repeat purchase, retention, unsubscribe behavior, and channel performance.
