Job Summary

The MET designs, builds, and maintains platforms that enable advertisers, publishers, and partners to accurately measure the performance, effectiveness, and value of advertising campaigns across digital and linear channels. The team operates data clean room technologies that support secure, privacy-preserving collaboration for attribution, reach, and frequency analysis. MET ensures Free Wheel-generated exposure data is delivered reliably, at scale, and in compliance with privacy standards, while also managing the ingestion of client and partner measurement data to support decisioning for targeting, spend optimization, and audience engagement.

In this role you will provide meaningful/substantial contributions to the design, development, and delivery of scalable software solutions. Although primarily an individual contributor (IC) from a work product perspective, your years of experience have shaped you into a skilled collaborator. You are comfortable working with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including product development, project management, compliance, architecture, SRE, QA and end-users.

Additionally, you understand foundational principles of success which underpin engineering execution in a Cloud environment.

• Build and scale measurement infrastructure for outcome-based optimization, starting with lower-funnel use cases and expanding over time.
• Apply and improve attribution and performance modelsto quantify campaign outcomes and support reporting, planning, and optimization.
• Create solutions which bring measurement metrics into buying and selling workflows through robust APIs, reporting, and user interfaces.
• Support product capabilities such as universal pixel, conversion APIs, clean-room data, real-time and batch processing, and self-service measurement tools.
• Create automated unit and integration tests, validating adherence to requirements and preventing escaped defects
• Develop an understanding of the larger (Freewheel) Engineering ecosystem, contributing to “buy vs. build vs. broker” discussions.
