Full Job Description
## Description Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant. We are hiring our first Senior Marketing Engineer, a builder who will give the Marketing team its own technical capacity. You'll own the systems that power Samba's marketing engine: our website, our martech stack, our marketing data layer, and the AI tooling that increasingly defines how modern marketing teams work. This role reports into Marketing, not Engineering. That's deliberate. You'll work hand-in-glove with Data Science, Revenue Operations, and Engineering, but you are part of the Marketing team and your scoreboard is the marketing scoreboard. If the idea of being the engineer who makes a great marketing team in the modern AI age, read on. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO Own the martech stack Own the marketing automation platform end-to-end including lead lifecycle, scoring, routing, suppression, deliverability, compliance. Example tools in the platform include Claude, HubSpot, Demandbase, Salesforce, Clay, Google Analytics, Gong, and more. Work with RevOps and Growth Marketing to optimize the integrations between Marketing and Salesforce: keep the data flowing, the handoffs clean, and the attribution honest. Lead vendor evaluations, rationalize the stack, and build vs. buy where it matters. Build an AI-powered marketing knowledge-base for Samba employees to find materials and ask questions. Build the website and the experimentation surface Engineering ownership of samba.com including performance, AEO/GEO/SEO optimization, accessibility, and the component system. Run a real A/B testing program on land
