• Collaboration: Partner with the AI Engineer to implement personalization logic and working with the Tech Lead to ensure architectural alignment.
• Migration Support: Assist in the technical migration of legacy campaigns and data from old providers (Selligent, Mailchimp) to the new unified platform.

• Full Stack Proficiency: Strong experience in modern web development, specifically with PHP (Symfony/Laravel) or Node.js/Golang for backend services, and React/TypeScript for frontend tools.
• API Integration: Significant experience consuming and building RESTful or GraphQL APIs, specifically integrating with third-party SaaS platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Stripe, or ESPs).
• Database Skills: proficiency with SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases, capable of writing efficient queries for large datasets.
• Event-Driven Architecture: Understanding of event-driven patterns (e.g., webhooks, queues, pub/sub) to handle real-time user actions like "abandoned cart" triggers.
• MarTech Awareness: Familiarity with marketing automation concepts (segments, journeys, triggers) or experience working with ESPs/CDPs is a big plus.
• DevOps Mindset: Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and cloud environments (AWS/GCP).
• Problem Solving: Ability to debug complex data flow issues across multiple distributed systems.
• Personal Automation: Proactively identifies opportunities to automate personal workflows and tasks, showcasing resourcefulness and a commitment to efficiency through the use of AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Bolt).
