- Proactively detect performance anomalies and optimization opportunities.
- Perform root-cause analysis across models, inventory, identity, attribution, audience, and data quality.
- Design and analyze A/B tests and experiments.
- Build reusable SQL/Python analyses, metrics, and automated diagnostics.
- Partner with Engineering and Trading to turn insights into measurable improvements.




- Convert recurring investigations into AI-assisted troubleshooting and automation.

We'd Love for You to Have
- Strong SQL and Python skills with experience analyzing large-scale datasets.
- Robust analytical, statistical, and experimentation fundamentals.
- Experience with platforms such as Snowflake, Spark, Trino, Databricks, or BigQuery.
- Understanding of data pipelines, data modeling, and data quality.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
- AdTech, marketplace, recommendation, or high-scale platform experience preferred.
- Experience with RTB, bidding, attribution, campaign optimization, or ML-driven systems is a strong plus.

Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (CS/IT) or an equivalent degree from a well-known institute or university; advanced degree is a plus but not required given depth of experience.
