Who Are We Looking to Add to Our Team?
We’re looking for an experienced Technical Lead to lead the engineering delivery of MarTech platforms, data pipelines, and customer engagement integrations. You’ll work closely with Product Owners, Agile Delivery Managers, Data Architects, and cross-functional teams to turn business requirements into reliable, scalable technical solutions.
You’ll provide hands-on technical leadership within an established architecture, guide engineering standards, oversee implementation quality, and mentor engineers. The role combines strong expertise in mParticle, Braze, and Databricks with a focus on platform reliability, data governance, and continuous improvement.

- Build and optimise batch and streaming data pipelines, APIs, webhooks, event schemas, and data models.
- Ensure solutions meet requirements for scalability, resilience, security, observability, and cost efficiency.
- Establish and maintain engineering standards across code quality, peer reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, release management, and rollback processes.
- Guide the implementation of mParticle and Braze capabilities, including SDK instrumentation, identity resolution, event tracking, audiences, Liquid personalisation, and Connected Content.
- Work with Product Owners and Agile Delivery Managers on feasibility, estimates, technical priorities, dependencies, and delivery risks.
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and data-quality checks to track pipeline performance, integrations, and customer engagement data flows.
- Lead incident response and root cause analysis, ensuring issues are resolved and preventive measures are implemented.
- Ensure integrations follow data privacy, consent, security, and governance requirements, including GDPR and relevant data protection policies.
- Coach and mentor engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, knowledge sharing, and onboarding.
- Identify opportunities to use GenAI and automation to improve engineering productivity while following security and governance standards.
What Makes You a Great Fit
