Principal Engineer, Growth Mega Alliance (all genders)Posted today

The opportunity

The Growth Mega Alliance (GMA) builds the platforms that power how HelloFresh acquires, converts, and retains customers across 18 markets and multiple brands, across five pillars: AdTech, Conversions, Payments, Communications, and Customer Value Optimization (CVO).

What you'll do

  • Own GMA's GenAI strategy: identify the highest-leverage opportunities across all five pillars where AI/ML unlocks step-change outcomes, for both engineering productivity and customer-facing capabilities.

  • Establish agentic development workflows: where specs drive AI-assisted code generation — and scale them from early adopters to standard practice. Build the guardrails and reference architectures that enable squads to work AI-natively.

  • Develop and articulate a clear point of view on how engineering teams need to: evolve in skills, process, and culture to realize the gains that agentic tools make possible.

  • Own the long-term technical architecture across GMA's five pillars: real-time personalization, experimentation at scale, AI/ML-driven automation, and cross-pillar data integrity.

  • Lead the most complex architectural decisions (shared identity schemas,: experiment assignment, AdTech-to-Conversions signal loops, payment authorization flows) and drive migrations with large impact.

  • Ensure GMA platforms integrate cleanly with internal infrastructure and meet: reliability, latency, and observability requirements at a global scale.

What they're looking for

  • Define GMA's experimentation strategy and execution framework to optimize: experimentation-based decision-making at scale.
  • Own the data path from customer event to business decision: instrumentation standards, identity resolution, attribution windows, and signal quality.
  • Define GMA's multi-year technical vision and communicate it with the: precision engineers need and the clarity executives can act on. Represent GMA in company-wide programs.
  • Partner with Intelligent Platforms, Consumer, and Operations Mega Alliances: to drive shared architectural standards and prevent fragmentation.
