• Play a key role in the configuration of the Customer Data Platform and other marketing systems to enable centralized customer data management and power marketing campaigns

• Drive the marketing technology roadmap by onboarding new platforms, including requirements definition, solution design, testing and validation, and training of end user teams

• Be involved in shaping MarTech systems design and help guide technical architecture discussions and decisions to establish a flexible, scalable, and secure tech stack

• Translate business requirements to technical specifications, identifying data needs to enable marketing to deliver a personalized customer experience

• Build integrations between systems, write queries to transform and validate data, and develop ETLs to federate data to a variety of channels

• Collaborate with teams across marketing, product, and engineering to develop and implement detailed technical project plans

• Assess risks, anticipate bottlenecks, balance business needs versus technical constraints and refine scope to deliver the best product possible on schedule

• Contribute to prototypes, code samples, demos, and peer reviews

• Coordinate with other dev dependencies to align cross-tech team sprint schedules

• Document and maintain standardized and efficient processes, automating as much as possible

This role has been categorized as a teleworker position. Teleworkers do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company. Employees may live in any part of Mexico, but preferably in Mexico City, as we would encourage attendance for occasional in-office events.

In addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.

Who you are

• Gravitate toward the detail but can keep the big picture in focus

• Very comfortable with analyzing and structuring large datasets

• Highly analytical approach, using data to drive step-change results

• Experience in agile methodology and program management tools like JIRA

• Proven track record of leading cross-functional groups to deliver quality products on time

• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to lead and prioritize multiple projects with little supervision

• Able to proactively identify dependencies/risks and work with engineering teams to mitigate

• Exhibit a collaborative working style with a strong focus on execution and results

• Strong interpersonal skills, effective in communicating with both technical and non-technical partners

• Ability to influence without direct authority and partner with cross-functional teams to achieve shared goals

• Have the modesty to question assumptions, seek broad input, and validate iteratively

• Dedicated to operational excellence, clear communication, and taking ownership of your work

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience in Engineering, Analytics, Tech Operations, or Marketing Technologist role, leading technical programs across cross-functional teams to deliver scalable platforms and services

• Expertise in SQL required, Python (or other programming languages) preferred; familiar with ETL tools and systems integration (marketing APIs and tools a plus)

• Hands-on experience using AWS services like S3 and Lambda

• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills and experience interacting with both business and engineering individuals at all levels including the executive level

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Operations Management, or similar field preferred, or equivalent experience
