ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to lead the replacement of a third-party digital ingestion tool with a custom-built ETL pipeline. This person will document existing logic, evaluate build-vs-buy options such as Fivetran, and build a standalone pipeline within an existing AWS environment. Strong SQL and DSP or programmatic advertising experience are central to this role.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- - Document current ingestion logic inside the legacy tool (TapClicks), including sources, endpoints, schemas, and transformation logic.
- - Build the ETL pipeline to replace the legacy system, handling ingestion from the Amazon API, other DSP platforms, and related digital data sources.
- - Evaluate and decide between off-the-shelf solutions (e.g., Fivetran) and custom-built ETL systems alongside the Infrastructure Lead.
- - Design the pipeline as a standalone, owned system to power client-facing dashboards.
- - Provide flexible engineering support for application and backend work within the AWS environment when directed.
- - Coordinate with data science teams to ensure ingestion output aligns with the attribution and scoring logic of downstream models.
- - Work seamlessly within the existing AWS environment (ECS, S3, RDS) rather than standing up parallel infrastructure.
MUST HAVES
- - 4+ years of strong SQL and large-scale data ingestion/pipeline experience (batch ETL, orchestration, schema design).
- - Direct or adjacent experience with digital advertising / DSP data (e.g., Amazon DSP, Amazon Advertising API, or comparable programmatic platforms).
- - Working knowledge of AWS data services (RDS/Postgres, S3, ECS) sufficient to build within an existing cloud environment.
- - Ability to contribute to application and backend work beyond pure ETL to support broader platform needs.
- - Familiarity with, or ability to quickly evaluate, managed ELT tools (such as Fivetran) against custom builds.
- - Ability to ramp into existing attribution and scoring logic so ingestion output aligns with downstream dashboard needs.
NICE TO HAVES
- - Experience replacing legacy third-party data pipelines with owned, custom infrastructure.
- - Familiarity with MLOps pipelines and how data feeds predictive models.
- - Experience working alongside part-time technical advisory leads to validate architecture decisions.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- - Professional growth: Accelerate your professional journey with mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- - Competitive compensation: We match your ever-growing skills, talent, and contributions with competitive USD-based compensation and budgets for education, fitness, and team activities.
- - A selection of exciting projects: Join projects with modern solutions development and top-tier clients that include Fortune 500 enterprises and leading product brands.
- - Flextime: Tailor your schedule for an optimal work-life balance, by having the options of working from home and going to the office – whatever makes you the happiest and most productive.
