    • Oversee data ingestion of 100+ upstream raw data sources (Salesforce, DSPs, ad platforms) into our data warehouse

    • Manage our data transformation pipelines and implement best-in-class systems design - includes writing complex SQL/ Python queries, stored procedures, and pipeline logic

    • Implement data governance best practices and champion these across the organization

    • Ensure data quality, pipeline reliability, and documentation standards across the team - quality assurance is a key cornerstone of the role

    • Reporting & Analytics

    • Translate business questions from stakeholders into data models and reporting solutions

    • Support revenue analytics - including advertiser performance, DSP reporting, and product-level breakdowns

    • Cross-Team Collaboration to build and maintain a platform that serves the needs of constituents across Sales, Sales Support, Finance, Marketing and Product

    • Triage and prioritize incoming data requests alongside the Director of BI

    • Set and uphold standards for data governance, code quality, documentation, and project delivery

    • Serve as the subject matter expert for our data engineering infrastructure

WHO YOU ARE

    • Ownership-driven: You treat the systems you build and the team you lead as your own, and you care about getting things right. Accuracy is paramount

    • Technically rigorous: You go deep on infrastructure problems and don't stop at surface-level fixes

    • Clear communicator: You can translate complex data concepts into language that resonates with business stakeholders

    • Collaborative: You work well across time zones and functions, and you make your teammates better

    • 5+ years of experience in data analytics or data engineering, owning pipelines from raw data collection to data delivery and reporting
