What youll do

• Design build and operate scalable backend services that power measurement attribution and ads enablement across SoFis paid channels.
• Own complex data-driven systems end-to-end from architecture and implementation through deployment monitoring and long-term maintenance particularly over high-volume event ingestion identity mapping and attribution data flows.
• Build and evolve event ingestion pipelines APIs and data flows that integrate with external ad platforms internal analytics and experimentation frameworks enabling near-real-time measurement and data activation use cases.
• Contribute to the technical architecture and roadmap help identify big-rock problems and propose durable scalable solutions.
• Ensure systems are highly available observable and correct with strong guarantees around data quality and consistency pipeline health and attribution accuracy..
• Collaborate effectively to translate ads and measurement requirements into robust technical solutions.
