· Optimize data workflows for latency, reliability, and scalability in cloud-native environments.
Platform Modernization & Lakehouse Development
· Modernize legacy ad-tech systems into open, lakehouse-based architectures (Iceberg, Delta, Hudi) for unified analytics and monetization.
Embed observability, data lineage, and automation frameworks to reduce technical debt and improve resiliency.
Cross-Functional Data Delivery
· Partner with Data Science to operationalize ML models for forecasting, optimization, and personalization.
· Ensure downstream data delivery into ad servers, identity systems, and activation platforms is low-latency and privacy-compliant
Architectural Leadership & Mentorship
· Act as a domain expert in distributed systems, streaming, and big data engineering.
· Mentor junior engineers, share best practices, and elevate engineering standards across global teams.
Qualifications & Experience:
· Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. PhD preferred for advanced expertise in distributed systems or statistical optimization.
· Data Engineering Expertise: 12+ years of experience designing and operating enterprise-scale data platforms with high-throughput pipelines.
· Cloud & Lakehouse Architectures: Hands-on expertise with AWS/GCP/Azure, open table formats (Iceberg, Delta, Hudi), and distributed compute (Spark, Flink, Presto).
· Streaming & Real-Time Systems: Deep knowledge of Kafka, Kinesis, or Pub/Sub for powering low-latency ingestion and activation.
· Operational Excellence: Skilled in CI/CD, automation, observability, and governance frameworks for enterprise-grade data engineering.
· AdTech Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with advertising workflows including forecasting, yield optimization, identity, and campaign execution.
· Collaboration & Mentorship: Demonstrated ability to partner with data scientists, product, and platform engineering, while mentoring junior engineers.
