The Data Engineer - Marketing Technologies builds and maintains the data pipelines, models, and real-time streams that serve as the foundation for 7-Eleven’s Marketing Technology (Mar Tech) personalization, decisioning, and measurement capabilities. This role is responsible for making Customer 360 (C360) a reliable single source of truth, engineering batch and event-driven pipelines (including loyalty, promotion, and pump/transaction data), and delivering governed, well-documented customer attributes to downstream activation platforms.

The Data Engineer partners with data science, architecture, Mar Tech engineering, and platform owners to close upstream data-quality, freshness, and coverage gaps that limit personalization today. This role directly enables timely, accurate, and compliant use of customer data across every marketing channel.

• Design, build, and operate scalable batch and real-time data pipelines in Databricks and related tooling to support audience, personalization, and measurement use cases.
• Engineer event-driven streaming (e.g., Kafka) for loyalty, pump, and transaction events to enable near-real-time personalization.
• Build and maintain the Customer 360 data model, feature/attribute pipelines, and promotion/offer data feeds to decisioning systems.
• Implement data-quality validation, monitoring, and change management so segments, flags, and attributes are accurate and trustworthy.
• Deliver governed customer attributes and audiences to activation platforms (e.g., Hightouch, Salesforce Marketing Cloud) with clear ownership and documentation.
• Partner with data science to product ionize model features and with architecture to align on data contracts and identity resolution.
• Support privacy and compliance requirements across all data flows.
