Description
At Adsquare, our mission is driven by our core focus: Passion – Solving complex challenges with great people, tech, and data. Niche – Location Intelligence for Programmatic Advertisers. Our core values are integral to everything we do: Drive: We turn ambition into action to deliver valuable outcomes. Resilience: We adapt, persevere, and grow stronger. No BS: We value honesty, transparency, and clear communication. Humble: We choose modesty over vanity and let results speak for themselves. Moral Compass: We do the right thing with fairness, integrity, and respect. We seek candidates who not only bring top-tier technical expertise but also embody these values in every aspect of their work. As a (Senior) Data Engineer at Adsquare, you will be a key contributor to our core engineering function, creating and maintaining scalable big data pipelines that power our applications and drive business value. Because our engineering department handles a variety of critical data challenges, you will be assigned to a specific cross-functional squad based on your individual strengths, experience, and current business needs. To give you an idea of the work, your daily mission might involve: Data Ingestion & Products: Developing data solutions built on massive volumes of location signals, geospatial (places) data, and audience attribute data. Data Integrations & Egress: Architecting privacy-first, massive-scale data egress solutions to ensure our datasets reach external partners reliably, securely, and efficiently. Regardless of the specific squad, you will work alongside a talented team of Data and Backend Engineers under the guidance of a Technical Team Lead, operating with a high degree of autonomy and a strong software engineering mindset. Data Pipeline Ownership: Take full accountability for the pipeline lifecycle—from raw data ingestion to transformation and external delivery—according to defined SLAs, time, and budget. Architect Scalable Solutions: Design and build robust data architectures required to process and transfer terabytes of data. Pipeline Optimization: Continuously improve data pipelines for cost and performance. This includes analyzing query plans, optimizing compute and working memory, and strategically applying horizontal or vertical scaling. Engineering Rigor: Elevate data engineering standards. Implement CI/CD workflows, infrastructure-as-code, test-driven development (TDD), and automated testing to ensure reliable and maintainable code. Data Monitoring: Create and maintain live monitoring dashboards to ensure data solutions are healthy and to support strategic decision-making. Collaboration & Mentorship: Bridge the gap between Data and Backend engineering. For Senior applicants, act as a technical leader by mentoring junior team members, conducting code reviews, and introducing best practices. We are looking for a candidate with varying levels of experience (mid-level to senior, typically 3-6+ years) in Data Engineering or Backend Development with a heavy data focus. You must be comfortable working in a self-organized, agile environment. Must-Have Technical Skills: Programming Mastery: Very strong proficiency in Python and SQL . You write modular, production-ready code and possess a solid understanding of both Functional Programming and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles. Big Data & PySpark: Deep experience with large-scale data processing frameworks, specifically Apache Spark / PySpark. You understand how to handle TB-scale datasets efficiently. Deep understanding of big data file formats like parquet and avro. Experience with open Lakehouse formats like Iceberg. Advanced Optimization Skills: Proven experience in optimizing data pipelines for compute, working memory, and cost efficiency, including reading and analyzing complex query plans/profiles.
