• Guide the implementation of mParticle and Braze capabilities, including SDK instrumentation, identity resolution, event tracking, audiences, Liquid personalisation, and Connected Content.
• Work with Product Owners and Agile Delivery Managers on feasibility, estimates, technical priorities, dependencies, and delivery risks.
• Set up monitoring, alerting, and data-quality checks to track pipeline performance, integrations, and customer engagement data flows.
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis, ensuring issues are resolved and preventive measures are implemented.
• Ensure integrations follow data privacy, consent, security, and governance requirements, including GDPR and relevant data protection policies.
• Coach and mentor engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, knowledge sharing, and onboarding.
• Identify opportunities to use GenAI and automation to improve engineering productivity while following security and governance standards.

• 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or MarTech, including technical leadership and mentoring engineers.
• Hands-on experience delivering production solutions using mParticle, Braze, and Databricks.
• Strong understanding of MarTech ecosystems, customer engagement platforms, event tracking, identity resolution, and customer data models.
• Experience building and optimising batch and streaming data pipelines using SQL, Python, PySpark, and Delta Lake.
• Familiarity with dbt for data transformations and orchestration tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect.
• Experience designing and delivering secure, resilient API, webhook, and event-driven integrations.
• Strong understanding of engineering practices, including version control, CI/CD, automated testing, code reviews, and release management.
• Experience with monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and improving reliability across distributed data systems.
• Knowledge of data privacy, consent management, GDPR, and data governance requirements.
• Ability to translate business and marketing requirements into technical solutions and communicate trade-offs clearly.
• Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to influence Product, Marketing, CRM, Data, InfoSec, and external vendors.
