• Commerce experience: you've built the real thing with carts, checkout, and payment integrations.
• SEO, page performance optimization, web analytics.
• Familiarity with marketing workflows: how paid and organic campaigns land on the web, what matters for conversion.
• You've worked somewhere where the website wasn't an afterthought.
• Experience building and working with APIs.
• Growth engineering instincts: funnels, attribution, and what happens after the click.
