Responsibilities
Web instrumentation architecture & implementation: Define and maintain the web tracking architecture across modern web stacks (SPA/MPA), including route change / virtual pageviews, click & CTA tracking, forms, funnels, conversions, and cross-domain patterns (referral integrity, linker/redirect behaviors, subdomain/app handoffs)
Build and maintain reusable instrumentation components: Build/own standardized instrumentation building blocks that scale across many sites event emitter libraries, data-layer wrappers, tagging templates/rules, and consistent integration patterns for tag management systems and web SDKs so teams can implement measurement quickly without re-inventing patterns
Translate measurement requirements into implementation guidance: Partner with the Data Solution Architect and Analytics Product Lead to convert measurement needs into precise engineering specs (event definitions, parameters, naming conventions, versioning, and data contracts), plus clear acceptance criteria for web engineering teams and delivery partners
Tagging quality, release readiness & QA: Own “last-mile” measurement QA and release gates validate that tags/events fire correctly with correct payloads, sequencing, consent gating, and dedupe controls; run regression tests across browsers/devices and priority customer journeys; use debugging/validation tools (network tracing, browser dev tools, tag debuggers, automated scans) to ensure data correctness before launch; partner with onshore/offshore teams to triage and resolve critical production issues fast
Observability, monitoring & continuous improvement: Implement monitoring to detect measurement breakages early (event volume drops, schema drift, null spikes, duplicate firing, vendor endpoint failures); define SLAs/SLOs for measurement health (freshness, completeness, accuracy) and publish dashboards/alerts; lead incident response and postmortems, driving durable fixes and engineering improvements
Performance, privacy & compliance-by-design: Ensure tagging and web SDK implementations are performance-safe (async loading patterns, tag budgets, safe rollback strategies); implement consent-aware measurement (purpose-based gating, suppression logic, region-specific rules); partner with Privacy/Security to ensure data minimization, approved vendor behaviors, and audit-ready documentation
