About the role
Redefining the future of mobility requires high-integrity data, advanced predictive modeling, and sophisticated marketing analytics. That’s where Global Data Insight & Analytics (GDI&A) makes a defining impact. Within our Marketing Analytics team, we translate complex customer journeys, campaign performance, and market dynamics into strategic foresight. We advise leadership on brand health, media optimization, and shifting customer needs—ensuring every marketing decision is grounded in evidence. Join us and use your analytical expertise to shape how the world connects with our brand.
Responsibilities
- Design and build AI-powered applications, agents, and intelligent workflows that improve discovery, recommendation, and analysis of marketing enterprise analytics assets, customer data, and media metrics.
- Transition from linear "chain" workflows to self-correcting agentic loops using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or LlamaIndex to automate complex marketing analytics workflows.
- Implement tool-integration patterns (MCP), agent communication protocols, and AI application observability.
- Develop high-concurrency backends optimized for long-running AI tasks, marketing attribution modeling, and real-time token streaming.
- Build responsive, stateful UIs in React or Angular that handle complex AI interactions (streaming text, generative UI components, and multi-modal feedback).
- Implement advanced RAG pipelines to maximize retrieval precision over vast libraries of marketing assets, creative guidelines, and historical campaign results.
- Establish AI evaluations to quantify hallucination rates, latency, and cost, leading the shift from "vibes-based" testing to rigorous, automated AI benchmarking.
- Collaborate with product managers, marketing experts, and domain stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions. Drive architecture decisions, engineering best practices, and operational excellence.

- Experience in building autonomous agents using agent orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar technologies.
- Experience implementing tool integration patterns (MCP), agent communication protocols, and AI application observability.
- Experience with vector search, hybrid retrieval architectures, or vector databases (Chroma, Qdrant, Pinecone, pgvector).
- Experience with GCP services (Vertex AI, Cloud Run, and BigQuery) or similar cloud platforms for deploying scalable AI solutions.
- Strong problem-solving and system design skills with the ability to evaluate competing technical approaches and articulate tradeoffs.
- Solid understanding of data engineering (SQL, Spark, data pipelines) and a strong interest or experience in quantitative marketing concepts like multi-touch attribution, cohort analysis, and predictive customer lifetime value.
