The Opportunity

As cookie deprecation looms, Kargo must adapt to new ways of matching the right audience with the right ads. We are looking to add a Senior Data Engineer to our Targeting and Audiences team to help evaluate existing methodology, try out new solutions, and build processes that scale to petabytes of data. This role involves communication across engineering, data, product, and client-facing teams to ensure alignment on what we’re building and how it will be used. It involves performing experiments on how data is captured, stored, and interpreted, and evaluating the results once the methodology is applied to campaigns.

The Daily To-Do

  • Understanding and maintaining existing identity and contextual data obtained from internal logs and third parties, dealing with data volume and performance issues as they arise, and refactoring legacy processes to be more reliable/fit current best practices.
  • Working with product and data science teams to expand our identity and contextual targeting capabilities; communicating needs with the engineering teams to ensure we can obtain this data and properly log it.
  • Performing analytics on efficacy and accuracy of our current targeting strategies, data vendors, and internal reports.
  • Building data pipelines to ingest, process, and load data to an in-memory database used by our real-time bidder. Current technologies used: Airflow, Snowflake, Aerospike, APIs. Current languages used: SQL and Python; need proficiency in both.

Qualifications 

  • Strong experience with Airflow, Snowflake, Python and SQL
  • Experience with Aerospike is a plus
  • Experience with petabytes of data, including building complex methods for loading this data quickly and efficiently, is a must
  • Experience in AdTech, and particularly around targeting, is highly preferred
  • Past programming experience in Python is highly preferred
  •  Extreme attention to detail, great verbal and written communication skills, and a proactive attitude
