Qualifications

• 10+ years of engineering experience, including time as a tech lead, or leading other tech leads, on complex enterprise software projects.

• High-throughput server-side collection: edge endpoints, batching, retries, and delivery guarantees.
• Practical grounding in consent and privacy requirements, including regional routing and data minimization.

• Lead identity handling that spans anonymous and authenticated records, across devices and sessions
• Lead integrations with other CustomerLake products like Profile & Campaign Agents
• Hold hard budgets on page weight, latency, and failure behavior, so that collection never degrades the host application
