Hightouch is an Agentic Marketing Platform powered by a Composable CDP, headquartered in San Francisco and named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Data Platforms, with customers including Domino's, Spotify, Aritzia, Cars.com, Ramp and PetSmart. In this new role you go into the most complex enterprise customers, set the vision for their data architecture, deploy a team of AI agents to build it, and catch and solve quality issues along the way. You will work with a small number of enterprise customers to figure out what they need, champion a specific implementation plan, and build it yourself or with the customer's team, defining what success looks like and proving the job is done. As one of the first people on a team being built now, you will shape the playbooks and standards. The listing states that the salary range for this position is 175,000 to 225,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with the company's remote-first policy, plus equity. The position is listed as Remote (North America); E-Verify applies to US hires only after hire.

Run discovery with marketing and data teams to move from vague goals such as better targeting to specific activation use cases. Profile and understand customer data, with agents doing the first pass and you deciding what it means, then architect a solution that closes data gaps and lands a working Hightouch configuration. Create target-state schemas and identity matching rules that make customer data activation-ready, designing identity resolution at the person, household or device grain. Direct the build by putting agents to work profiling the warehouse, proposing models and generating transformations, reviewing and rewriting everything they produce and owning the resulting models and their performance. Define the metric that proves the engagement worked, agree it with the customer before the build, compute it and defend it to senior leaders. Hand off day-to-day work but remain the named architect for data model changes, new sources and identity graph rework, producing reusable reference architectures. Build the semantic layer, metric definitions and business logic that Hightouch agents run on. Surface product gaps to the product teams.
5 or more years in a customer-facing technical role such as analytics engineering, solutions architecture, forward-deployed engineering, data consulting or in-house marketing data work at a large brand. Fluent SQL in Snowflake, Databricks or BigQuery, with query performance and warehouse cost as things you think about unprompted. Experience directing AI agents rather than just prompting them, and scrutinizing every line before it ships. A driver who has parachuted into messy engagements with many stakeholders and driven discovery, clarity and alignment. Bonus: dbt, SQLMesh or similar transformation tooling with a git-native, PR-driven workflow; prior work with identity resolution, CDPs or MDM. Must be based in North America.
