Data Architect

Location: Remote (except California)

Status: Full-Time

At Marketing Architects, we believe TV advertising is still the most powerful marketing channel. But the typical process for TV is expensive, difficult to scale and to measure. So we flipped the traditional approach on its head and rebuilt the agency model with the client in mind. Today, we're growing a team of talent from across the United States to reimagine how brands advertise on TV.

We’re hiring a Data Architect to help evolve and scale our data infrastructure in support of analytics, business intelligence and data products. You’ll design and implement end-to-end data pipelines, improve governance and performance and work cross-functionally to deliver solutions that directly impact decision-making and client results. You'll report to our Lead Data Architect.

In this role you’ll:

• Design and build scalable, production-grade data pipelines and architectures

• Apply data modeling standards to support high-quality, maintainable systems

• Monitor pipeline performance, latency and cost-efficiency; proactively optimize

• Ensure compliance with data governance policies, including access, privacy and retention

• Collaborate across analytics, product and engineering teams to define and meet data needs

• Document architectural decisions, technical tradeoffs and solution designs

We’re seeking someone with experience including:

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or data architecture

• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and at least one cloud-based data platform (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Azure)

• Strong foundation in data modeling, warehousing and ETL/ELT best practices

• Experience leveraging AI tools for efficient execution

• Working knowledge of data governance, access controls and compliance frameworks

• Ability to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions

Our values:

• Hungry Humble Smart: We seek a trifecta of talent. We take initiative and act with urgency. Look inwards before outwards. Value EQ over IQ.

• Mindset Matters: Success starts between our ears. We face challenges with a calm confidence and pivot quickly. As eternal optimists, we know we are capable of great things and have survived worse. Our best days are always ahead.

• Team Is Hero: We, not me. Being a hero is a team sport and it's the unique talents of many that make us one of a kind. No one person can win the day, but great teams can change the world.

• Rebel Against Ordinary: We reject the ordinary to deliver the extraordinary. We are contrarians by choice. We take the path less chosen and if the way forward isn't clear, we will create it.

• Relentless Learning: We never stop learning. The next book. The next podcast. The next big idea. Driven to broaden what we know. Because the more we discover what we don't, the more exciting the journey becomes.

We offer rewarding careers that encourage growth while providing industry-leading benefits including:

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental and disability, with vision option

• Generous 401(k) matching

• Flexible paid time off, 9 paid holidays plus 2 floating holidays

• Paid parental leave

• Annual office supply allowance, monthly internet stipend and employer-paid cell phone

• Opportunities to connect virtually and in-person twice a year with our fully remote team
