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. 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. We are looking for a Staff Data Analytics Engineer to join our technical proficiency track. This is a highly technical, Individual Contributor (IC) role. You will act as the Technical Lead for your squad—making critical architectural decisions, defining engineering standards, and driving cross-squad collaboration—without the responsibilities of people management. You will be the technical north star for the team, approaching extremely complex data problems with a rigorous software engineering mindset. You will design, build, and oversee production-grade data platforms that process massive volumes of geo-spatial data, audience attributes, and geo-location time-series data. We are looking for an exceptional engineer who has a proven track record of acting as a technical leader and domain expert in heavy data environments. Must-Have Skills: 7+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Backend Development with a deep focus on massive data systems. Geo-Spatial & Time-Series Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience handling massive datasets specifically involving geo-spatial (GIS) data, audience attributes, and high-frequency time-series data. Advanced Software Engineering (Python): Mastery of Python beyond standard data scripting. You write highly modular, object-oriented code. You have deep, practical experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) , mocking, exception handling, and performance profiling, functional programming. Architectural Vision: Deep expertise in designing scalable data architectures using both relational and horizontally scalable data warehouses/lakehouses (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, Athena, StarRocks, Iceberg). You deeply understand query execution plans, partitioning, clustering, and cloud cost governance. Big Data Frameworks: Extensive experience with large-scale data processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, PySpark, AWS EMR, Glue) to handle massive throughput. Expert SQL & dbt: You design scalable, robust data models (using Jinja, macros, incremental strategies) that serve as the foundation for our entire analytics layer. AWS Cloud Native & IaC: Hands-on experience building architectures in AWS (e.g.: AWS Lambda, AWS Batch, Glue, StepFunctions, S3, EC2, ECS, ECR, Fargate) and deploying them using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). Leadership Skills: Superb organizational and communication skills. You can distill complex architectural trade-offs for non-technical stakeholders and drive technical consensus among your engineering peers. Nice-to-Have Skills: Polyglot Programming: Experience with a compiled or strongly typed language (e.g., Scala, Go, Kotlin, C++ or Java). Advanced Orchestration: Experience defining complex dependency graphs in tools like Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect. Technical Leadership & Architecture: Act as the principal architect for your squad. You will design horizontally scalable, cost-efficient, production-grade data solutions capable of handling TB-scale, highly dimensional datasets. Engineering Excellence & TDD: Champion rigorous software engineering principles. You will lead the adoption of Test-Driven Development (TDD), CI/CD workflows, and clean code architectures. You ens
