Summary of Job: 
As a senior analytics engineer, you’ll work across a dynamic client roster designing and building data solutions that connect media, site, and marketing performance data into actionable insights. You will partner closely with analytics, strategy, media, and client teams to architect scalable data solutions that answer business questions and support marketing decision-making.

This role requires a hands-on, solution-oriented engineer who combines deep technical expertise with a strong understanding of media and digital analytics. The ideal candidate proactively identifies opportunities, solves complex data challenges, and helps shape how data is leveraged across the agency and for our clients.

 

What You’ll Do:

  • Design data solutions that solve client business needs
    • Partner with analytics and media teams to understand business objectives and translate them into scalable data solutions.
    • Design data models that integrate media, site, sales, and media conversion data to provide a complete view of marketing performance.
    • Recommend and implement measurement approaches that support both agency and client objectives.
    • Serve as a subject matter expert on media and marketing data architecture.
  • Lead media data engineering initiatives
    • Build and maintain integrations across major advertising, analytics, and marketing technology platforms.
    • Develop scalable frameworks for campaign performance measurement, attribution, audience analysis, and optimization.
    • Evaluate emerging platforms, APIs, and data sources to improve agency capabilities and client outcomes.
  • 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.
  • Solve problems relentlessly
    • Proactively catch and investigate issues, find root causes, and go beyond surface solutions.
    • Work with analysts to anticipate needs and ensure data is easy to find and use.
    • Demonstrate situational awareness and know when to escalate, push or pull back, or execute. 
    • Communicate effectively with less technical stakeholders to address challenges and keep them updated on progress.

 

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.

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.
