• Data Lineage & Quality: Establish rigorous data tracing and monitoring protocols. Troubleshoot complex data discrepancies end-to-end (from frontend capture/backend databases to downstream marketing platforms) to ensure high data integrity, reliability, and accuracy.
• Privacy Engineering & Compliance: Take on technical responsibility of data privacy operations. Integrate various data sources with our Data Privacy Management/Consent platforms to automate PII deletion and Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) workflows.
• Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Act as the bridge between Marketing, Business Systems, Data Engineering, and Legal/Privacy teams. Translate complex, high-level business requirements into scalable technical solutions.

Who You Are:

• Experience: 7+ years of experience in data engineering and integration engineering (must have a heavy focus on the Marketing Technology ecosystem).
• CDP/TMS Expertise: Deep architectural and hands-on experience implementing and managing enterprise Customer Data Platforms and Tag Management Systems (e.g., configuring event streams, audience builders, state management, and server-side tagging).
• Integration & API Mastery: Strong backend integration skills with extensive experience consuming and building REST/RESTful APIs, webhooks, and managing batch and real-time data streaming architectures.
• Data Lineage & Analysis: Proven ability to map and trace complex data lineage across highly distributed systems, and ability to analyze dependencies.
• Data Privacy & Security: Solid understanding of global data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and the technical mechanisms required to enforce them across a decentralized software.
