About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own feature development: Take ownership of features end-to-end - from technical design through delivery - breaking complex projects into well-scoped, deliverable pieces across our martech stack.
Write high-quality code: Produce Ruby code that is idiomatic, performant, well-tested, and raises the bar for the codebase.
Contribute to architecture: Participate in team-level architectural decisions around data modeling, CDP event schemas, service boundaries, API design, and background processing patterns.
Build and maintain martech integrations: Design and own integrations with our Customer Data Platform (CDP) and marketing automation tools like Braze - including event ingestion, audience syncing, and canvas triggering via API.
Improve quality proactively: Identify opportunities to improve data reliability, pipeline performance, and developer experience - and act on them.
Guide junior engineers: Provide technical guidance to Software Engineers I and II through thorough code reviews, pairing sessions, and design feedback.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Marketing, Data, and Product teams to translate campaign and personalization requirements into reliable technical implementations. You should be comfortable sitting in a room with a marketer and speaking their language.
Participate in on-call rotation: Take increasing ownership of incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and systemic improvements.
Build team knowledge: Document technical decisions, data models, and integration patterns to strengthen your team's shared understanding.
