Building the monetization engine for the AI era.
At AdZen, we aren't just adjusting to the AI shift; we are defining it. As traditional advertising fades into "interruption," we are engineering a new paradigm: Conversational Ads. Our platform uses proprietary AI to insert contextually relevant, non-disruptive connections directly into AI agent dialogues and premium content.
The Culture: We are a team of industry veterans and bold innovators who value autonomy, architectural elegance, and "harmony over noise." Here, your career is rewarded with the chance to build a first-of-its-kind independent network that empowers AI companies, publishers, and brands to thrive together.
