About the Opportunity

An international media and digital analytics organization is seeking a Staff Data Engineer to help lead the evolution of its data platforms and AI capabilities. This is a senior, high-impact technical role focused on large-scale data architecture, cross-platform integration, and AI/LLM-driven product development. You’ll work across multiple teams to shape long-term architecture, drive innovation, and ensure systems scale effectively as the organization grows.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and own scalable, cross-platform data architecture across complex systems
  • Lead integration of data platforms to enable unified insights and product capabilities
  • Build and optimize data pipelines (batch + streaming) and data models at scale using Python and modern data frameworks
  • Develop and maintain production-grade Python code for data processing, automation, and AI/ML workflows
  • Drive development and deployment of AI/ML and LLM-powered features
  • Establish best practices for data modeling, pipeline design, and system observability
  • Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across teams
  • Translate business needs into clear, scalable architectural decisions
  • Contribute to architecture reviews, roadmap planning, and on-call support for production systems
Required Qualifications (Must-Have)
  • 8+ years of experience in data engineering or data architecture
  • Proven experience working in complex, multi-system or multi-team environments
  • Strong Python expertise (hands-on, production-level development)
  • Experience building AI/ML or LLM-based solutions in production
  • Deep experience with large-scale data architecture (pipelines, modeling, warehousing)
  • Strong communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts clearly
  • Demonstrated success mentoring engineers and elevating team performance
Strongly Preferred
  • Experience with Snowflake, Big Query, or similar cloud data warehouse platforms
  • Familiarity with Kafka, Kubernetes, or real-time streaming infrastructure
  • Experience with cross-division or cross-company data/platform integration initiatives
  • Passion for mentorship, teaching, and contributing to engineering culture—not just individual delivery
Technical Environment
  • Cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, Big Query, or similar)
  • Data processing & orchestration (Spark, Kafka, Airflow, or equivalent)
  • Batch and streaming data pipelines
  • Cloud-native / containerized environments (Kubernetes a plus)
What Success Looks Like
  • First 90 days:
    Deliver an architectural assessment and identify integration opportunities
  • 6 months:
    Advance or deliver a cross-platform data or AI initiative
  • 12 months:
    Own the data architecture roadmap and mentor multiple engineers
Benefits
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Flexible work schedule + unlimited PTO
  • Monthly stipends (home office, internet, wellness)
  • Annual company event
  • Collaborative culture with a strong work-life balance
