Responsibilities

  • Architect the incrementality product into a reliable, scalable experimentation platform and own its technical decisions.
  • Set the technical direction for near-real-time data ingestion and processing beyond batch workflows.
  • Define patterns for AI-powered workflows that help marketers evaluate performance and act on insights.
  • Lead connection-state systems and the partner ecosystem across data ingestion and exports.
  • Shape technical approaches for adjacent product areas such as role-based access control.
  • Take products from ambiguity and early traction through architecture, implementation, and production scale.
  • Partner with product managers, designers, and data scientists to shape product direction and implementation.
  • Mentor engineers, conduct design reviews, and improve the team’s engineering practices and standards.

Requirements

  • Experience partnering with product managers, designers, and data scientists to shape what gets built.
  • Startup experience or experience working in environments requiring breadth, sound judgment, and problem-solving under ambiguity.
  • Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous product needs into sound technical architecture and production-ready solutions across multiple problem spaces.
  • Ability to navigate complex datasets and interconnected tables to investigate issues, trace dependencies, and determine solutions.
  • Working frontend experience with React and TypeScript; deep frontend specialization is not required.
  • Strong coding fundamentals and the ability to use AI as an accelerator rather than a substitute for core capabilities.
  • Generalist mindset and willingness to work across backend, frontend, pipelines, and infrastructure.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and improving team operations.
  • Bonus experience in data-intensive backend engineering, frontend delivery, and resolving complex architecture questions.
