Responsibilities
Build, scale, and maintain reliable tracking and instrumentation across web, mobile, and backend platforms using tools and frameworks aligned with our core stack (e.g., TypeScript, Node.js, Fastify, Prisma)
Develop reusable APIs, event pipelines, and integrations that power attribution, segmentation, and automation across acquisition and retention channels
Architect and maintain high-quality event tracking, conversion APIs, and analytics hooks critical to payment, offer, lifecycle, and engagement flows
Own integrations and custom connectors between key marketing systems (CRM, CDP, ad platforms, analytics, email/automation)
Ensure end-to-end data fidelity across systems — from first touch to long-term value — minimizing data loss and improving attribution accuracy
Extend and integrate with LLM tools (e.g., OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic) where growth use cases benefit (e.g., creative personalization, content automation, intelligent segmentation)
Implement frameworks and tooling for experimentation (A/B testing, feature flags, personalization layers) to validate growth hypotheses and optimize funnels
Build interfaces and backend services that enable rapid experimentation and rollback with confidence
Automate repetitive marketing processes (audience syncs, campaign launches, lead scoring) to increase efficiency and reduce manual overhead
Create scripts, microservices, and task runners that support campaign orchestration and operational efficiency
Collaborate deeply with Data and Analytics to align event schemas, build reliable conversion tracking, and support full-funnel analysis
Drive improvements in LTV/CAC measurement, cohort analysis, and predictive models through accurate, scalable pipelines built on SQL, data lakes, and internal tooling
Partner with Product, Data, Engineering, and Marketing to deliver performant, scalable solutions that align with Wander’s product principles and user experience standards
Provide technical guidance to marketers on best practices, tooling limitations, and opportunities for innovation

Proficiency with API design, integration patterns, and scalable service architecture
Experience working with cloud environments (preferably GCP) and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes)
Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using standard tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions), monorepos (Yarn, Nx, Turbo), and observability tooling (Sentry, structured logs, metrics)

Excellent communicator capable of translating between technical and non-technical audiences
Strong ownership mentality, prioritization skills, and ability to operate in an async, remote-first environment
