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.

- Problem solve relentlessly
- Proactively catch and investigate issues, finding root causes and going beyond surface solutions.
- Work with analysts to anticipate needs and ensure data is easy to find and use.

- 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.
