- Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and system design sessions.
- Take ownership of features and projects, driving them from concept to production.
What You'll Bring to the Table

- Hands-on experience with modern data warehouses, lakes, and compute/storage technologies (e.g., Snowflake, Pinot, TiDB, Spark, Airflow, Kafka, Trino/Presto).
- Experience designing and building robust ETL pipelines and real-time streaming processes.
- Solid understanding of data governance, lineage, and cost optimization in cloud environments.
- Ability to write clean, maintainable, and performant code in production systems.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across teams.
👉 Impact of the role: As a Senior Engineer on the Data Platform team, you’ll help shape the backbone of StackAdapt’s data ecosystem. The reliability and scalability of the systems you build will directly influence how quickly and confidently teams across the company can innovate using data.
