Data Engineer

Cross Screen Media is founded by industry veterans and gives customers a new way to plan and execute video advertising campaigns. To achieve this, we need an amazing team. Here’s where you come in…

We are looking to hire a Data Engineer with a strong work ethic and a passion for the fast‑paced startup life. The ideal candidate doesn't just build pipelines — they think critically about how data should be modeled, how systems connect, and how to design for scale. You'll work alongside a senior data engineer and collaborate across a small, high‑output team to shape the data layer behind our product, Screen Solve.

We're currently using tools and platforms like Python, Airflow, dbt, AWS and Snowflake.

This is a fully remote position. Face to face communication is important to us, so we have quarterly in‑person team meetings at our office in Alexandria, VA. Additionally, we have biannual company offsites to give all of our employees time together in person.

• Think beyond the immediate task: consider how today's integration point becomes tomorrow's platform surface area
• Deliver features rapidly using AI‑assisted development tools (Claude Code, etc.)
• Contribute to definition of user stories
• Collaborate with other members of the team on development & integration
• Write unit tests and maintain high code quality, per both static code analysis & team standards
• Be available on a rotating schedule for production issues

• BS in Computer Science or equivalent
• 5+ years experience in software/data engineering
• Strong SQL skills
• Experience with ETL/ELT techniques
• Strong sense for data architecture — you can look at a set of requirements and reason about how data should be modeled, where it should live, and how schemas should be designed for clarity and reuse
• Experience with dbt
• Experience with Airflow or similar orchestration tools
• Experience with Snowflake or similar cloud data warehouses
• Experience working with AWS
• Unix/Linux fundamentals
• Nice to have:
  Experience with AI coding tools
