Job Description

We are building a new MarTech intelligence platform from the ground up and we are looking for our first engineer to lead the technical vision and build the product end-to-end.

This is hands-on architecture, systems design, and shipping real products. Youll have full ownership of the tech stack and the opportunity to shape the company from day one.

What Youll Own

  • System architecture, backend services, integrations, DevOps, and data infrastructure.
  • Translating marketing + business logic into scalable, reliable engineering.
  • Shipping fast while maintaining technical clarity and technical rigor.

Core Requirements (Must-Have)

1. MarTech + Data Engineering

You should have deep familiarity with how modern growth teams work:

  • Practical understanding of segmentation, attribution modeling, and MMM.
  • Experience building pixel-level + server-side tracking pipelines.
  • Strong with MarTech analytics, performance KPIs, and funnel/reporting metrics.
  • Integrating with external APIs: Shopify, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Google Ads, GA4, etc.
  • Strong data engineering foundation: ingestion, streaming, warehousing, ETL workflows.

2. Backend & DevOps

You know how to design systems that scale from day one:

  • Experience building production-grade REST / GraphQL APIs, Webhooks, gRPC and OAuth services.
  • Strong fundamentals in RBAC, authentication, logging, and secure API design.
  • AWS fluency with a focus on cost-efficient deployment and observability.

3. Working Style

  • Highly analytical, comfortable working deeply with metrics + data.
  • Bias toward shipping and iterating quickly with clarity.
  • Comfortable in 0 1 environments where playbooks don’t yet exist.
  • Ability to work effectively with “vibe coding” workflows using LLMs (GPT-based development), including prompt iteration and industry-standard AI coding assistants.

Bonus Points

Not required, but a strong plus:

  • Strong frontend ability: dashboards, reporting systems, clean UI/UX.
  • Product sensibilities: ability to simplify complexity.
  • AI / ML exposure:
    • Predictive modeling for marketing performance
    • RAG-based analytical chat experiences
    • Agentic workflows or automation frameworks
  • Experience with WhatsApp chatbots or conversational triggers.

What You Get

  • Competitive Salary and

    Performance Based ESOPs allocation.
  • Technical Autonomy

    : you define the stack, patterns, and engineering culture.
  • Greenfield Build

    : no legacy systems to fight.
  • A chance to help build something with scale, depth, and real market pull.

If you’re a hands-on builder who wants to own the first line of code, architect a product from zero, and grow into long-term technical leadership, we’d love to talk.
