Responsibilities

  • Provide senior technical leadership across the MarTech ecosystem, helping translate business strategy and product priorities into scalable, secure, and sustainable technology approaches.
  • Define and promote MarTech reference architectures, integration patterns, technical standards, and reusable guardrails, and facilitate architecture and design reviews for complex, high-impact, and cross-platform initiatives by clearly communicating technical options, risks, dependencies, and trade-offs.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of senior engineers and technical specialists through performance management, career development, succession planning, recruiting, and talent development.
  • Partner with engineering leads across MarTech to strengthen engineering practices, technical capabilities, knowledge sharing, and consistent application of architecture patterns and standards.
  • Partner with Product Owners and business stakeholders during discovery and initiative shaping to assess feasibility, clarify technical implications, identify dependencies, and improve solution readiness before delivery commitments are made.
  • Maintain hands-on technical credibility through selective participation in solution design, architecture and code reviews, prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and complex troubleshooting.
  • Identify material technical risks, cross-platform dependencies, engineering constraints, technical debt, and sustainability concerns, and recommend appropriate actions or escalation.
  • Shape technical platform roadmaps and modernization recommendations in partnership with Product, engineering, platform specialists, and MarTech leadership.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, solution architecture, platform engineering, systems integration, marketing technology, or related technical disciplines.
  • 3+ years of formal engineering or technical people-management experience, including coaching, performance management, career development, and hiring.
  • Strong expertise in enterprise application architecture, integration patterns, APIs, data-driven or event-driven integrations, cloud technologies, and secure solution design, with experience facilitating architecture and design reviews, applying technical standards and guardrails, and guiding technical decisions across complex or cross-platform initiatives.
  • Proven ability to translate ambiguous business objectives into technical approaches, architecture options, recommendations, dependencies, risks, and trade-offs while partnering effectively with Product and business stakeholders. Strong facilitation, written communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate as a player-coach, maintaining sufficient technical depth to engage credibly in solution design, engineering reviews, prototypes, and complex technical problem-solving while leading engineers.
  • Experience working in a large-scale enterprise MarTech environment with multiple integrated SaaS platforms, data sources, and business stakeholders.
  • Experience with one or more technologies relevant to the MarTech ecosystem, such as Oracle Eloqua, Salesforce, MuleSoft, Marmind/Wrike, Adobe Analytics, Sitecore, WordPress, or Customer Data Platforms.
  • Experience evaluating, adopting, or enabling AI-powered capabilities within marketing, engineering, or enterprise technology environments, with the ability to identify practical use cases and champion responsible adoption across teams.
  • Experience leading or advising on platform modernization, technology rationalization, cloud adoption, integration modernization, or digital-transformation initiatives.
