About the role
Digitxl is building to turn raw analytics into automated diagnostics, reporting, and activation for our marketing, CRO, and analytics clients.
We're looking for an AI & Data Engineer to help design, build, and operate this platform end-to-end: from cloud infrastructure and data pipelines through to the AI agents that turn numbers into plain-English answers our clients actually use. This is a hands-on, build-from-zero role with a clear technical roadmap already scoped - you'll be shaping how it's implemented, not just following a spec.
What you'll be doing
Platform & infrastructure
- Design and operate our GCP environment (BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Secret Manager, Cloud Scheduler) across production and staging
- Build and maintain the multi-tenant architecture that maps each client to their GA4 property, BigQuery dataset, and usage limits
- Implement IAM, dataset-level access controls, and audit logging to keep client data properly isolated and secure
- Set up CI/CD (GitHub Actions), monitoring/alerting, backups, and disaster-recovery processes so the platform can be trusted to run unattended
Data engineering
- Build and maintain dbt models that turn raw GA4 BigQuery exports into clean, standardised tables
- Build a schema drift detection system that catches client-side tracking changes before they silently break downstream reporting
- Integrate additional data sources over time - Shopify (via Airbyte), Google Ads/Meta Ads, Search Console, PageSpeed Insights, session-quality tools (e.g. Microsoft Clarity), and error tracking (e.g. Sentry)
- Handle the messy realities of production data: export lag, late-arriving data, property migrations, and identity resolution across systems
AI / MCP tooling
- Design and build MCP tools (Node.js + the MCP SDK) that expose analytics functions - reporting, diagnostics, funnel analysis, attribution comparison to Claude
- Build deterministic diagnostic pipelines (e.g. compare-and-rank breakdowns) that feed clean, structured data to Claude for narrative generation, keeping the AI's role tightly scoped to interpretation rather than calculation
- Write and version the prompts driving automated reporting and diagnostic narratives, with an eye on accuracy, tone, and auditability
- Build and maintain scheduled agent workflows (Cloud Run + Cloud Scheduler) that generate automated client reports, with human review steps built in
Reliability & governance
- Enforce usage limits and cost guardrails across BigQuery queries and Claude API usage
- Maintain client onboarding/offboarding runbooks and support our data handling/DPA obligations
- Contribute to a testing culture - staging environments, automated tests, and safe promotion to production
What we're looking for
- Solid experience with Node.js and building/consuming APIs
- Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform - BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, IAM, Secret Manager (or equivalent experience on another major cloud provider)
- Comfort writing and optimising SQL, ideally with some exposure to dbt or similar transformation tooling
- Experience with, or strong interest in, LLM/AI application development - prompt design, tool/function calling, agent architectures
- Understanding of GA4 and Google Analytics Data/Admin APIs, or a fast ability to pick up new analytics platforms
- A pragmatic, product-minded approach to engineering - comfortable making sensible early-stage tradeoffs (buy vs. build, "good enough" vs. gold-plated) rather than over-engineering
- Strong data governance instincts - you think about access control, PII, and auditability without being told to
Nice to have
- Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specifically
- Experience with reverse-ETL tools (Hightouch, Census) or CDP-style data activation
- Experience with Shopify's API/data model
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
- Frontend experience (Next.js/React) for eventually building a client-facing dashboard
Why join
You'll be building a genuinely new product from the ground up — not maintaining someone else's legacy system — with direct input into architecture decisions, a real (paying) client base to build for, and a technical roadmap that already spans infrastructure, data engineering, and applied AI. You'll work closely with our analytics and client delivery team, so what you build gets used immediately, not shelved.
