Job description

We're building a team to deliver foundational Customer Data Platform (CDP) use cases in 45 days. Our promise: from not out-of-the-box to out-of-the-box with Segment, in record time.

We need an Integration Engineer who doesn't just code — you wire the ecosystem together. From event instrumentation to destination setup, you'll make Segment come alive in the client's stack. If you love turning complexity into working data flows, this is for you.

What You'll Do

• Implement event tracking plans across web, mobile, and server.
• Connect sources and destinations (analytics, marketing, warehouse).
• Debug data flows using Segment debugger, Protocols, and destination logs.
• Maintain schema consistency and enforce identity stitching (userId vs anonymousId).
• QA everything — validate in staging, push to production, demo value to the client.
• Create handover docs and runbooks so anyone can pick up where you left off.
• Support multiple client projects at once — calm under pressure, clear under chaos.

Daily Rhythm (How You Operate)

• Validate end-to-end before you call anything done: Source → Segment → Destination.
• Document new events the moment you ship them — tracking plans, schema, identity model.
• Collaborate with the Engagement Lead (project rhythm) and Solutions Architect (schema design) daily.
• When blocked, find another path — don't wait.
• Cultural rule: "If it's not in Segment or documented, it didn't happen." Assumptions should be made explicit.
• Timezone Flexibility: clients pick NA/EMEA/APAC — we mirror it.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up and configure Segment workspaces.
• Instrument ≥95% of planned events with ≤5% schema violations.
• Connect at least one analytics destination (e.g., GA4/Amplitude).
• Connect at least one marketing destination (e.g., Mailchimp/ESP).
• Document schema, traits, and identity model in detail.
• Collaborate with Engagement Lead (project rhythm) and Solutions Architect (schema design).

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience implementing SDKs (Segment preferred, GA4/Amplitude okay).
• Strong documentation habits — tracking plans, schema, identity flows.
• Familiar with APIs, JSON payloads, and logging tools.

Bonus Points For

• Experience with CDPs (especially Segment).
• Connecting multiple destinations across analytics, marketing, and warehouse.
• Prior work on fast client implementations with strict timelines.

The Mindset We Hire For

• You don't just push code — you deliver business value.
• Schema chaos keeps you up at night.
• You thrive on clarity, documentation, and overcommunication.
• If data isn't flowing, you're restless until it is.
• You're resourceful: when blocked, you don't wait — you find another path.

Success in This Role

• 60 days → Run multiple projects, debug issues independently, demo live flows.
• 90 days → Codify playbooks, mentor new engineers, strengthen governance practices.

Why Join Us

This isn't a checklist role. It's a builder role. You'll be part of a team that thrives on clarity, pressure, and execution — delivering CDP implementations that look effortless to the client.

If you want to obsess over schemas, debug like a pro, and show clients their data lighting up in real time — you'll thrive here. If not, you'll burn out fast. We're not for everyone, and that's intentional.

Self-Check Before You Apply

• Can I instrument "signup_completed" in code and see it live in the Segment debugger?
• Can I explain anonymousId vs userId in plain English?
• Do I instinctively document new events as I ship them?
• Could I set up Segment and connect Amplitude or GA4 without Googling every step?
• If blocked, do I naturally look for workarounds instead of waiting for help?
