You'll work directly with CRM/marketing automation engineering and campaign operations teams to make audience and event data available, reliable, and easy to use.

• 7+ years working in SQL against enterprise data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar)
• 5+ years building ETL/ELT pipelines (batch or streaming) from files, databases, and APIs
• 5+ years working with cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and DevOps practices
• Comfort integrating systems via REST APIs
• BA/BS in Computer Science, Information Technology, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field

How you'll work

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills; comfortable following complex, multi-step instructions and resolving conflicting priorities
• Able to juggle multiple concurrent projects without losing track of details
• Quick to pick up new technical concepts and adapt to new tools and technologies
• Familiar with infrastructure tooling and able to work within established engineering standards and processes
• Comfortable mentoring or training teammates on systems you own
• Clear, concise communicator - able to explain technical work to both engineering and business stakeholders

Nice to have
