Sr. Systems Engineer - Web Platform

Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Department: Marketing

Work Location: hybrid

• Maintain the current environment: Support and improve the existing WordPress/AWS website, including CMS workflows, templates, plugins, forms, redirects, performance, security, QA, and uptime.
• Improve reliability: Reduce production issues, strengthen release processes, improve QA, and make the current environment easier to maintain.
• Support business continuity: Keep the site stable while Marketing continues to launch pages, campaigns, product updates, and conversion experiences, while helping evaluate a cleaner website infrastructure model that reduces dependency on product systems.
• Identify technical debt: Audit the current platform, document risks, and recommend improvements based on impact, effort, and business priority.

• Contribute to future-state architecture: Help evaluate, document, and build reusable technical patterns for a modern web stack using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, headless CMS platforms such as Storyblok, Strapi, Contentful, or similar, API-driven integrations, reusable component systems, and modern hosting patterns.
• Build for scale: Create systems that support faster launches, cleaner workflows, better performance, and more flexible content production.
• Develop reusable assets: Build components, templates, modules, technical patterns, and workflows that reduce one-off development work.
• Support migration planning: Help document what should remain in the current stack, what could move to a future stack, and where risks or dependencies need to be addressed during transition

• Own scoped technical projects: Execute platform and launch projects from requirements and planning through build, QA, launch, and iteration, with clear escalation on dependencies and risks.
• Support production needs: Support the web production team with overflow, urgent fixes, complex builds, launch support, and senior-level troubleshooting.
• Manage launch readiness: Own redirects, forms, tracking, accessibility checks, release QA, performance checks, and technical validation for major launches.
• Flag risks early: Identify dependencies, technical gaps, and launch risks before they become blockers. Communicate impact and recommended options clearly.

• Support web-side integrations: Build and validate website integrations across forms, demo workflows, GA4, Google Tag Manager, Marketo, Salesforce handoff points, and third-party tools.
• Improve attribution confidence: Validate form fills, demo submissions, campaign parameters, routing, conversion events, UTMs, and attribution signals.
• Troubleshoot technical issues: Diagnose issues across CMS, hosting, APIs, scripts, forms, analytics, marketing automation, and third-party systems.
• Improve data reliability: Help create a more reliable technical foundation for website performance, conversion, and pipeline reporting.

• Use AI to accelerate work: Apply AI tools to support development, debugging, documentation, QA, technical research, and workflow automation.
• Use judgment with AI: Use AI to improve speed across development, migration scripts, debugging, documentation, and QA, while validating code quality, security, architecture, and long-term maintainability.
• Automate repeatable work: Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort across QA, documentation, testing, reporting, and production workflows.
• Improve autonomy: Use AI and modern tooling to explore options, validate approaches, and move work forward with fewer dependencies.

• Work cross-functionally: Partner with Marketing, Engineering, RevOps, Analytics, Product, Legal, and external agencies to support launches and platform improvements.
• Coordinate vendors: Work with external web and technical vendors while maintaining internal ownership of quality, standards, and technical direction.
• Communicate clearly: Translate technical tradeoffs into practical business terms. Explain what is needed, why it matters, and what path you recommend.

• You have owned production web systems. You have worked on websites, web applications, or digital platforms where JavaScript, React, Next.js, reliability, performance, integrations, and scale matter.
• You are comfortable with current-state and future-state work. You can improve an existing platform while helping build a better one in parallel.
• You think in systems. You understand how architecture, CMS workflows, analytics, forms, APIs, hosting, SEO, GEO, performance, and conversion paths connect.
• You are hands-on. You can recommend a technical approach and build the components, integrations, and workflows needed to execute it.
• You use AI as part of your workflow. You know how to use AI to move faster, troubleshoot, document decisions, test ideas, and improve autonomy without outsourcing engineering judgment.
• You are curious and communicate well across teams. You ask good questions, work well with technical and non-technical partners, and explain tradeoffs clearly.
• You move quickly with judgment. You understand how to balance speed, quality, security, tracking, performance, and user experience.
• You flag risks early. You do not wait until launch day to raise concerns. You identify tradeoffs, explain impact, and recommend a path forward.
• You care about maintainability. You build systems that are clean, durable, documented, and easier for other people to use.

• Current platform: WordPress on AWS, including CMS workflows, templates, plugins, forms, redirects, performance, security, QA, and uptime.
• Future-state stack: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, headless CMS platforms such as Storyblok, Strapi, Contentful, or similar, API-driven integrations, reusable component systems, and modern hosting patterns.
• Infrastructure: AWS today, with the ability to evaluate modern hosting, deployment, monitoring, and CI/CD models as the platform evolves.
• Front-end: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, responsive development, accessibility, component systems, and performance optimization.
• Back-end / integrations: APIs, forms, webhooks, CMS workflows, Salesforce, Marketo, and third-party systems.
• Analytics and tagging: GA4, Google Tag Manager, Search Console, campaign tracking, conversion events, form tracking, demo attribution, and reporting data flows.
• AI tools: AI-assisted development, debugging, documentation, QA support, workflow automation, technical research, and systems analysis.
• Performance and QA: Core Web Vitals, site speed tools, structured data, accessibility checks, release QA, redirects, uptime monitoring, and regression testing.

• Current-state stability: The existing WordPress/AWS website remains stable, secure, performant, and reliable while improvements are made.
• Future-state contribution: Reusable technical patterns, components, workflows, and documentation are built and tested to support a future headless CMS + React/Next.js stack without disrupting the current website.
• Launch velocity: Marketing can ship pages, campaigns, and product launches faster with fewer technical bottlenecks.
• Tracking accuracy: Forms, demo submissions, routing, GA4 events, GTM tags, UTMs, and attribution signals are reliable and validated.
• Reusable systems: The web team has components, templates, modules, workflows, and technical standards that reduce one-off work.
