Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.THE ROLE:AMD is seeking a Manager of Marketing Data Engineering within the Marketing Analytics team to build and operationalize the data foundation that supports advanced analytics, data science, and machine learning across Marketing. This person will lead the hands-on development of scalable data pipelines, canonical data models, and trusted, reusable datasets that enable analytical use cases—from lead and account scoring to attribution, segmentation, forecasting, and campaign optimization.The role will work closely with data scientists, analytics professionals, Marketing stakeholders, and enterprise technology teams to translate analytical requirements into reliable data solutions. Responsibilities include integrating internal and external data through APIs and other ingestion methods, engineering datasets within environments such as Snowflake or Databricks, and establishing the data workflows, quality controls, and documentation needed to support repeatable model development and ongoing machine learning operations.THE PERSON:The ideal candidate is a hands-on data engineering leader who combines strong technical execution with an understanding of how data supports analytics and machine learning. They think beyond individual pipelines to build reusable data assets with consistent definitions, clear relationships, and reliable historical context. They must be comfortable working with complex, fragmented data, translating analytical needs into practical engineering requirements, and balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term maintainability and scale.They must also be a collaborative problem-solver who builds trusted relationships across business and technical teams, communicates trade-offs clearly, and brings discipline to data quality, documentation, and delivery. The ability to guide and mentor engineers while remaining closely involved in solution design and development is important to success in this role.KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:Build and operate scalable marketing data pipelines, transforming data from internal platforms and external sources into reliable, analysis-ready and machine-learning-ready datasets within Snowflake, Databricks, or comparable cloud data environments.Develop reusable API integrations and ingestion frameworks to bring together CRM, marketing automation, digital analytics, media, event, partner, and other relevant data, with appropriate controls for incremental updates, schema changes, failures, and reprocessing.Design and maintain canonical datasets and shared data models, establishing consistent definitions, identifiers, relationships, and historical views across core marketing entities such as accounts, contacts, leads, campaigns, engagement, spend, and opportunities.Engineer datasets for machine learning and data science, partnering with data scientists to develop features, labels, and training, validation, testing, and inference datasets. Apply appropriate historical snapshots and point-in-time logic to support reproducibility and prevent data leakage.Lead hands-on engineering delivery and continuous improvement, managing priorities and dependencies, reviewing technical designs and code, mentoring engineers, and improving development practices through reusable components, automated testing, and disciplined release management.Establish data quality, observability, and operational reliability, implementing automated validation, pipeline monitoring, freshness checks, and controls for schema and data distribution changes. Troubleshoot issues and improve pipeline performance, recovery processes, and compute efficiency.Partner with Marketing, Analytics, Data Science, Sales Operations, and IT to understand business priorities, translate use cases into data requirements, and align on dataset definitions, delivery expectations, and ownership.PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:Experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, data platform development, or a related discipline, including experience leading technical projects or small engineering teams.Strong hands-on proficiency in SQL and Python, with experience developing production-grade data pipelines, transformations, and reusable engineering components. Experience with Spark or PySpark is a plus.Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, or comparable cloud data platforms, including data modeling, workload optimization, orchestration, and management of scalable analytical datasets.Demonstrated experience building API-based data integrations, including authentication, pagination, rate limits, incremental extraction, retry logic, and schema evolution, along with familiarity with file-based and other ingestion approaches.Experience preparing data for machine learning and data science workflows, including feature engineering pipelines, label generation, point-in-time-correct datasets, training and inference consistency, and reproducible dataset creation. Familiarity with feature stores and dataset versioning is preferred.Familiarity with MLOps and modern data engineering practices, including workflow orchestration, Git-based version control, automated testing, CI/CD, environment management, and the data requirements of model deployment and retraining. Experience with tools such as dbt or Airflow is a plus.Experience designing canonical data models and reusable data products, including entity resolution, deduplication, consistent data grain, historical tracking, and integration of structured and semi-structured data across multiple systems.Understanding of marketing and sales data ecosystems, including CRM, marketing automation, digital analytics, paid media, account-based marketing, events, and opportunity data, and how these sources support analytical and predictive use cases.Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate business and analytical needs into engineering requirements, explain technical trade-offs, coordinate cross-functional delivery, and mentor technical colleagues.ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related technical field. A master’s degree or equivalent advanced experience is preferred.This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.AMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
