Senior Growth Marketing Engineer

About the Role

Alkira, acquired by Lumen Technologies in July 2026, is building the revenue systems that will define how we go to market as a combined organization. The Senior Growth Marketing Engineer uses AI, data enrichment, and workflow automation to build automated revenue systems that turn intent signals and buying behavior into precise, coordinated go-to-market execution at scale.

This is not a traditional marketing ops or demand gen role. Alkira and Lumen have established stacks across HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Demandbase, and Userled. The opportunity is to rationalize and activate them using AI-driven automation. A significant portion of Alkira's top-of-funnel opportunity comes from Lumen's large enterprise customer base, making ABM infrastructure a core responsibility. The right candidate combines a marketer's instinct for what moves buyers with an engineer's ability to build the systems that act on it.

Location: Please note that this position is a hybrid work environment requiring onsite at San Jose, CA 2 - 3 times a week.

What You'll Own:

Data Foundation

Audit and rationalize data across Alkira and Lumen systems (HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Demandbase, Userled)

Use AI-powered enrichment to maintain clean account and contact data at scale

Build ICP targeting criteria using technographic, firmographic, and intent data

Data Modeling

Build AI-assisted lead and account scoring models grounded in real buying signals, not form fills

Develop dynamic ICP frameworks that update as market conditions evolve

Create attribution models connecting campaign performance to pipeline and revenue

Data Activation

Deploy AI agents and automated workflows coordinating outreach, ABM campaigns, and sales motions around live buying signals

Automate lead routing with AI-drafted context and call prep for sellers

Build closed-loop feedback systems between campaign execution and sales outcomes

Automate CRM hygiene so sellers spend time selling, not on data entry

ABM Infrastructure

Build and operate ABM infrastructure targeting Lumen's enterprise customer base as a primary top-of-funnel source

Configure Demandbase and Userled to identify, segment, and prioritize high-value target accounts

Design account-level engagement workflows across paid, owned, and outbound channels based on intent signals

Build account progression tracking that maps engagement to pipeline stage and surfaces expansion signals

What Success Looks Like in Year One

Alkira and Lumen marketing data is clean, unified, and trusted by sales and marketing

AI-driven scoring and routing models are live and improving conversion rates and sales efficiency

ABM infrastructure is operational, with Lumen's enterprise customer base segmented and engaged through coordinated account-level programs

Attribution is in place and feedback loops between campaign performance and sales outcomes are actively informing strategy

What We're Looking For

5+ years in growth marketing engineering, revenue operations, or marketing automation

Hands-on experience building AI-powered workflows and revenue automation in a go-to-market context

Experience with ABM platforms such as Demandbase or Userled, including account identification, segmentation, and intent-based engagement

Experience with AI-native enrichment platforms such as Clay, Apollo, or similar

Proficiency across complex martech stacks; HubSpot, Marketo, and Salesforce strongly preferred

Proficiency building automated workflows using Make, Zapier, n8n, or custom integrations

Strong analytical skills; comfortable building scoring models, attribution frameworks, and dashboards

Ability to operate independently and translate business problems into scalable technical solutions

Nice to Have

Familiarity with SQL or Python for data manipulation and modeling

Background in B2B SaaS or enterprise networking and cloud infrastructure

Experience with post-acquisition technology stack consolidation
