Role Summary We are seeking a MarTech CDP Engineer with deep expertise in modern Composable CDP and Zero-Copy Data Architectures to support our retail client's personalization and marketing programs. This is an end-to-end platform role that goes beyond basic integration—you will build audience segments, configure identity resolution, orchestrate omnichannel marketing journeys, and manage data pipelines using a modern data stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Composable CDP & Reverse ETL: Configure and maintain reverse ETL pipelines using tools like Hightouch or Census to sync data from data lakes directly to marketing channels.

• Zero-Copy & Databricks Architecture: Design and implement zero-copy data sharing patterns leveraging Databricks, Delta Lake, and Unity Catalog to eliminate redundant data silos.

• Segmentation & Identity Resolution: Build, maintain, and govern audience segments, suppression logic, and identity resolution models for retail personalization.

• Streaming & Integrations: Design real-time event streaming integrations using AWS MSK (Kafka) and build destination connectors for execution platforms like Adobe Campaign Classic, Airship, and Infobip.

• Operations & Support: Monitor platform health, triage sync failures or audience discrepancies, perform root-cause analysis, and maintain robust technical documentation.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years working directly in MarTech data platforms, customer data platforms, or analytics engineering.

• Mandatory Hands-On Experience: Must have proven experience with Zero-Copy Data Architectures and Reverse ETL tools (Hightouch or similar platforms).

• Databricks Expertise: Strong, practical experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and data-sharing connectivity.

• Cloud & Streaming: Experience with AWS (specifically MSK/Kafka) and REST API integrations with marketing execution tools (ESP, push, SMS).

• Tracking & Tech: Experience implementing/maintaining Web SDKs (JavaScript) for behavioral event tracking.

• Background: Strong troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and client-facing communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Census, Airship, Infobip, or Optimizely.

• Background in retail, e-commerce, or membership/subscription industries.

• Experience supporting live, production-scale CDP platforms end-to-end.
