Avalara's Marketing Technology team is scaling its execution capabilities and expanding its AI capabilities to keep pace with a growing go-to-market engine. The systems that power campaign execution, lead lifecycle management, and marketing operations, Workfront, Marketo, and our leads pipeline, require strong, hands-on technical talent to build, maintain, and continuously improve them.

This IC4 MarTech Engineer role is for a strong technical leader who can transition marketing capabilities from a digital marketing paradigm to an agentic marketing approach by integrating, automating, and configuring new agentic models and solutions across our enterprise capabilities, building reliable integrations, automating marketing workflows, and ensuring lead data flows accurately from capture to CRM handoff.

Bar Raiser Expectations

This role is a Bar Raiser hire. The successful candidate will:

• Hold themselves and others to high standards of technical quality, data integrity, and operational accountability
• Demonstrate strong judgment when making platform and technical tradeoffs, especially those that affect campaign performance, lead data quality, or system reliability.
• Raise the performance of those around them through mentorship, rigorous code reviews, and clear documentation.

AI Expectations

Avalara is an AI-first company. This role is expected to be an AI Bar Raiser, not a casual user of AI tools, but someone who embeds AI into how MarTech work gets done and elevates the AI capability of the team.

Specifically, this role is expected to:

• Share AI best practices with the MarTech team and Marketing Operations, helping peers adopt AI tools responsibly and effectively.
• Apply AI responsibly, with awareness of data privacy, governance, and ethical use standards relevant to marketing data and customer information.

Candidates who cannot demonstrate specific, measurable AI impact in prior roles do not meet Avalara's AI Bar Raiser standard.
