Staff Marketing Technology Engineer - Absorb LMS

“As our Marketing Technology Engineer, you’ll do more than keep our data platform humming — you’ll build the AI applications and agents that put that data to work, automating how our marketing and product teams operate. You’ll own the full path from a mature BigQuery and dbt foundation to deployed, secure, production-grade tools that give every team leverage.”
— Saravana Sivanandham, CMO

Overview

Absorb Software is looking for a Staff Marketing Technology Engineer to own and evolve the technology behind our data-driven and AI-driven marketing.

This is a dual-mandate role: on one side, you’ll steward a mature data platform — a BigQuery warehouse with dbt-based transformations — ensuring clean, reliable, well-governed data. On the other, you’ll design, build, and deploy applications and AI agents on Google Cloud that automate marketing and product work and give our teams self-serve leverage.

This is a senior individual-contributor role that provides technical leadership and architectural direction across our marketing technology stack. It does not have direct reports.

What You'll Do

• Data Platform Ownership: Own and evolve our marketing data platform (BigQuery + dbt), designing and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines that connect diverse data sources and scale as measurement needs grow.
• AI & Automation Engineering: Design, build, and deploy applications and AI agents on Google Cloud — exposing backends for agentic use and lightweight UIs where needed — to automate marketing and product workflows.
• Self-Serve Tooling: Develop AI-powered tools that let Marketing, Product, and other teams self-serve automation, and apply AI to automate data-engineering work itself.
• Engineering Best Practices: Uphold high engineering standards across an AI-assisted codebase: Git-based workflows, code review, semantic versioning, automated testing, and CI/CD for clean, reproducible deployments.
• Data Security & Governance: Manage least-privilege access (IAM), secret management, PII handling, BigQuery row/column-level security, and guardrails on AI systems (e.g., prompt injection and data exfiltration prevention).
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Marketing, Finance, Sales, Marketing Operations, Data Analysts, and BI specialists to ensure data integrity and resolve discrepancies via root-cause analysis.
• Architecture & Tech Strategy: Shape the marketing technology and AI platform stack, aligning architecture with strategic business outcomes and growth priorities.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of data engineering experience with demonstrated breadth in software and/or AI application development.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals (Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD).
• Hands-on experience deploying applications on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, GKE), containerization (Docker), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
• Experience building and deploying AI/LLM applications and agents (e.g., Vertex AI / Agent Builder, LangChain/LangGraph), API design (FastAPI), and evaluating AI system reliability.
• Expertise in SQL and Python, with experience designing batch/streaming ETL/ELT pipelines and API integrations.
• Required experience with BigQuery and dbt, along with solid data-warehouse modeling concepts.
• Working knowledge of cloud data security and governance best practices (IAM, PII handling, secret management).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with Fivetran and marketing software tools (CMS, CRM, email marketing, tracking tools).
• Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau.

What We Offer

• Work Environment: Fully remote-first setup with flexible arrangements 🏡
• Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and medical benefits based on location, retirement savings programs, and eligibility for two bonus plans 🧘
• Perks: New hire equipment allowance and monthly flex allowance 📦
• Growth: Endless opportunities for career advancement and internal mobility 🌱
• Culture: Employee-driven DE&I programs 🫶
