About the role

Senior engineering role focused on ingest, normalization, and orchestration of advertising platform data at scale, building agentic workflows and measurement infrastructure to improve ad performance insights and enable data-driven decision making.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the ingest and normalization path for advertising platform data at scale, including rate limits, schema drift, backfills, and restated numbers
  • Design the aggregation and identity layers that make figures from different platforms comparable
  • Lead development of agentic workflows that parse performance data, interpret it, present it, and act on it
  • Set the correctness and evaluation bar in a domain where ground truth is noisy and partially observable
  • Partner closely with product management, design, and other engineering teams to build intuitive, scalable, and extensible solutions that drive user & business growth

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of engineering experience, including time as a tech lead or leading other tech leads, on complex enterprise software projects
  • Hands-on experience with walled garden advertising APIs (Meta, Google, Amazon, TikTok) or the equivalent from the advertiser, agency, or DSP side
  • Working knowledge of ad tech data models: campaign hierarchies, attribution windows, conversion APIs, deduplication across sources
  • Familiarity with measurement approaches such as MTA, MMM, incrementality testing, and privacy-preserving aggregation
  • Experience shipping LLM-powered systems to production, including evaluation and guardrails
  • High ownership and bias for action in 0→1 environments: you are comfortable making pragmatic trade-offs, operating with incomplete information, and driving projects from idea through launch and adoption
  • Strong ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and design teams to align technical strategy with company growth objectives
  • Combination of technical and people leadership, for example, as a TLM (Nice to have)
  • Built or operated measurement infrastructure at a platform, measurement vendor, or large advertiser (Nice to have)
  • Background in experimentation or causal inference (Nice to have)
