Role Summary

• Own the Databricks Lakehouse end-to-end: ingestion, Medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) modeling, Unity Catalog governance, Lakeflow pipelines, and performance.
• Design and build robust, scalable pipelines that bring together media and marketing data from many platforms into governed, analytics-ready datasets.
• Drive adoption of AI-assisted data development across the team using Databricks Genie, Copilot, and Claude Code to accelerate pipeline build, transformation, and debugging without sacrificing rigor.

• Partner with visualization, data science, and Ad Ops teams to source data correctly, validate it, and resolve discrepancies between platform truth and downstream reporting.
• Contribute to the productization of the data platform—moving from bespoke, client-by-client pipelines toward reusable, standardized, semi-automated data products.
• Manage capacity, utilization, and delivery health for the DGS engineering team,



coordinating closely with onshore leadership on staffing and priorities.
