Core Skills & Expertise:
The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
Exceptional Data Engineering & Infrastructure Mastery:
Mastery in designing and building efficient data pipelines to feed AI ranking bidding and recommendation systems.
Expertise in implementing and maintaining Feature Stores (online and offline) for fast and consistent feature serving to ML models.
Advanced knowledge of streaming data technologies (e.g. Kafka Pub/Sub) and large-scale data processing engines (e.g. Spark Flink) in a cloud environment (GCP/AWS).
Advertising Data Domain Knowledge:
In-depth understanding of AdTech data sources (eg bid request logs server logs front-end events) and the infrastructure required to process them.
Proven experience building data flows that support the feature engineering necessary to optimise CPC CPA and ROAS metrics for advertisers.
Exceptional Data Processing and System Expertise:
Advanced proficiency in Python (for building robust ETL/ELT) and SQL (for data modeling and warehousing).
Strong foundation in data modeling schema design and ensuring data quality/integrity for high-volume ML features.
Ability to design reliable scalable systems that support complex feature transformations required for multi-objective optimisation models.
Proven Leadership in Data Systems:
A track record of designing and deploying high-performance data pipelines and feature infrastructure in production with measurable stability and performance.
Experience influencing data architecture strategy and driving adoption of best practices for data consumption by Data Science teams.
A history of mentoring junior engineers and driving alignment on data infrastructure standards across engineering and data organizations.
Qualifications :
Nice-to-Haves:
Deep MLOps and Infrastructure Experience: Expertise in managing and optimising feature serving infrastructure for low-latency requirements including techniques like caching sharding and geographically distributed serving for high-volume prediction and decision services.
Feature Layering for Causal/Economic Models: Familiarity with the data requirements and pipeline design to support features for econometric models or causal inference (eg handling complex time-series lags external shock data).
Cloud-Native Data Ecosystems: Certified expertise (or equivalent experience) in specific cloud-native data services (eg Google Cloud Dataflow BigQuery Vertex AI Feature Store AWS Kinesis) that enable full operationalisation of the ML feature lifecycle.
Advanced ML Architecture Knowledge: Working knowledge of advanced ML architectures such as Transformer-based models or Graph Neural Networks to anticipate and design the necessary feature representations and data flows required by Data Scientists.
