Summary of the Job:

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll work across a dynamic client roster finding, extracting, loading, and transforming data foundational to analysis and marketing decisions. You’ll be responsible for collaboration with other key analytics positions to provide an end-to-end view of measurement and performance for clients.

This role is fast-paced, collaborative, and ever-evolving: the right place for someone who wants to make an impact quickly and help shape the way data powers marketing decisions.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain data pipelines
  • Automate reporting pipelines with speed, accuracy, and scalability in mind. 
  • Demonstrate best practices in data engineering and account for considerations specific to media and site data in every step of the automation process.
  • Write and optimize SQL views, Python/R scripts, and API connectors as needed.
  • Continually optimize data cleaning and anomaly detection processes.
  • Help manage and advance our GCP infrastructure, particularly with BigQuery and GCP integrations.

• Contribute to strategy
  • Help shape the roadmap for our data architecture and processes.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify, improve, and standardize workflows.
  • Occasionally support client conversations with technical expertise.

You could be a good fit if:

• You take ownership of data quality and availability like it’s mission critical.
• You already are, or have the drive to become, an expert in media data.
• You’re a problem solver who doesn’t stop at “it’s broken.” You figure out why and how to fix it.
• You balance speed and accuracy, knowing both matter in a client-driven environment.
• You’re adaptable, resourceful, and curious. You’re able to figure things out with limited direction. Learning new things and finding creative solutions are some of your favorite parts of your job.
