Job Description
Senior Data Engineer
MediaRadar, Inc.
Role Description We are looking for a highly technical, hands-on Senior Data Engineer to drive the evolution of our data delivery platform while leading a team of data engineers. This is a player-coach role: - Architect our next-generation data stack. - Build proofs-of-concept (POCs) and prove out new technologies before committing to them at scale. - Manage and grow a team of engineers who report directly to you. - Partner closely with engineering leadership to shape the technical direction of our pipelines while staying hands-on in the systems. We are deliberately moving away from a locked-in, vendor-heavy stack toward a flexible, largely open-source architecture that keeps our options open. We expect our engineers to work in a modern, AI-assisted way: - Use AI coding tools and prompt-based workflows to move faster without compromising quality. - Evaluate tools, build POCs, and make pragmatic, evidence-based decisions about what we adopt next. This is a build-and-prove role: - Write code, design schemas, profile queries, and understand the "how" and "why" behind every pipeline. - Mentor your team to do the same. - Team Leadership & People Management: Lead, manage, and grow a distributed team of data engineers (across North America and India). - AI-Assisted Development: Champion the use of AI coding assistants and prompt-based development. - Hands-On POCs & Prototyping: Build proofs-of-concept to validate new tools and patterns. - Tech Stack Strategy & Architecture: Help shape the technical vision for our ETL and data platform. - Platform Modernization: Drive the migration away from Azure Databricks toward a more open, flexible stack. - Build & Own Pipelines: Design, build, and optimize robust ETL pipelines. - Deep System Integration: Master all systems upstream and downstream to ensure seamless data delivery. - Operational Excellence: Establish testing frameworks, QA plans, observability, and CI/CD practices. - Technical Leadership Through Influence: Set technical standards and raise the bar across a distributed team. - Domain Mastery: Rapidly learn the nuances of the Advertising and Market Research domain. Qualifications - 8+ years in data engineering / ETL, with a strong track record as a hands-on engineer. - Hands-on experience using AI coding tools and strong prompt-based development skills. - Expert-level SQL and RDBMS skills with deep experience in SQL Server and Postgres. - Hands-on experience with technologies such as ClickHouse, dbt, and open-source data pipeline tools. - Strong, hands-on AWS experience. - Demonstrated ability to independently prototype, benchmark, and evaluate new technologies. - Strong proficiency in Python (or similar) for building and automating data pipelines. - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Requirements - Previous experience in Advertising, Media, or Market Research (Bonus Points). - Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code (Bonus Points). - Experience with streaming/real-time data technologies (e.g., Kafka) (Bonus Points). Benefits - Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance - 401k with Company Match - Flexible PTO - Commuter Benefits - Gym Discounts - Summer Fridays
