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.
  • Own data quality and governance
    • Enforce naming conventions, dataset groupings, versioning, and access standards.
    • Maintain rigorous QA practices to ensure clean, reliable, and consistent data.
    • Continuously seek opportunities to improve processes and infrastructure.
  • 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.
    • Demonstrate situational awareness, knowing when to escalate, push or pull back, or execute. 
    • Communicate effectively with less technical stakeholders to address challenges and keep them updated on progress.
  • 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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
