  • Translate business needs into elegant, product-minded data solutions that drive measurable business value
  • Integrate marketing data sources (GA4, advertising platforms, CRMs, CDPs) into reliable, well-modeled datasets
  • Establish data engineering standards, documentation, and monitoring practices for data quality and reliability
  • Apply AI-powered coding, agentic engineering, and AI-enabled workflows to accelerate delivery

  • Hands-on experience with AI-powered coding, agentic engineering, and AI-enabled workflows
  • Proven experience mentoring others, establishing engineering standards, and contributing to a culture of learning
  • Familiarity with marketing data ecosystems (GA4, advertising platforms, CRMs, CDPs)
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals: version control, testing, code review, and CI/CD
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to work with every technical level at an organization that is 50/50 tech and creative
  • Experience leading complex, ambiguous projects from definition through delivery

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with data governance, privacy compliance, and security best practices
  • Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into data pipelines, with exposure to GenAI applications

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
