What You’ll Be Doing

We are bringing together CTM and iSelect to build a unified, best-in-class technology platform—and we’re looking for a Senior Integration Engineer to help lead the way.

In this role, you’ll design and deliver integrations across our marketing and customer technology stack, ensuring accurate data flow, measurement, and activation. You’ll work across CDPs, CRM, GA4, APIs, and cloud platforms to enable real-time data capture and insights, including emerging AI-driven channels such as LLMs and conversational platforms.

As a subject matter expert, you’ll partner with stakeholders and the Data team to build scalable data pipelines, optimise data quality, and drive best-practice approaches to integration, governance, and compliance.

This is a highly technical, end-to-end role suited to someone passionate about data, integration, and the evolving landscape of AI and digital measurement.

Key Accountabilities

• Design, build, and maintain integrations across marketing and customer platforms
• Ensure reliable data flow across channels, CRM, analytics, and data environments
• Implement consistent tracking across web, app, API, and AI-driven interactions
• Translate business needs into scalable integration patterns, schemas, and data models

Stakeholder Enablement & Solution Design

• Partner with stakeholders to deliver practical, business-aligned integration solutions
• Translate requirements into clear technical designs, event models, and implementation approaches
• Advise on platform capabilities, trade-offs, and best practices
• Ensure solutions are documented, testable, and ready for delivery and support

Data Governance & Compliance

• Define and maintain data standards (naming, schemas, taxonomy)
• Ensure compliance with privacy, consent, and data governance requirements
• Support identity stitching and responsible first-party data use
• Strengthen data quality and reduce risk as platforms and AI channels evolve

Performance Monitoring & Optimisation

• Implement monitoring and alerting to detect data issues early
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration and tracking issues
• Improve performance, reliability, and automation of pipelines
• Use insights to enhance integration design and measurement over time

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Act as a SME across integrations, data collection, and channel measurement
• Support engineers through mentoring, guidance, and documentation
• Contribute to standards and best practices
• Stay current on emerging tech, analytics, privacy, and AI trends

We’re guided by three shared values that shape how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our customers - Drive, Noble Intent and All Together.

Plus, we offer a range of great perks to help you thrive both in and out of work:

• Vibrant and social community who have annual celebrations, family fun days and regular events
• Enjoy flexible work arrangements, including the option of one day working from home each week or a 9-day fortnight
