Responsibilities
Model data for trust & reuse: Build modular, tested transformations (e.g. in Spark/Python) that convert raw logs into canonical datasets and marts powering experimentation, product analytics, and executive reporting
Own the metrics layer: Design and maintain a governed catalog of metrics and dimensions (e.g.Datahub) with clear definitions, lineage, and versioning
Operate reliable pipelines: Orchestrate and harden batch/stream pipelines (e.g., Airflow/Kafka/Spark) with SLAs, backfills, and cost-aware performance tuning
Proactive data quality: Implement unit/integration tests, anomaly detection, and monitoring (e.g Great Expectations/Monte Carlo/Bigeye) to catch metric drift and upstream integration issues before they reach users
Integration health visibility: Build dashboards/alerts for client conversion data health and integration metrics (e.g., EMQ, AQS), and drive root-cause analysis and remediation with partner teams
Enable self-serve analytics: Create intuitive dashboards and templates (e.g., Tableau) that expose the metric layer and unlock analysis for engineering, PM, and GTM users
Define logging standards: Partner with product/engineering to instrument event schemas and logging guidelines that improve downstream observability and data quality
Document & govern: Establish style guides, playbooks, and change-management processes for metric and model evolution (including deprecation and backfills)
Raise the bar: Lead code reviews, mentor peers, and contribute to platform roadmaps across Rokt Research
Qualification
Required
3-6+ years in data engineering / data warehousing roles building production-grade data models and metrics at scale
Expert SQL (Trino preferred) and solid Python for analytics engineering and data tooling
Experience with Spark (PySpark or Spark SQL) for large-scale data processing, optimization, and distributed computation
Hands-on orchestration experience (e.g., Airflow, Dagster) and comfort operating pipelines end-to-end (monitoring, backfills, SLAs, cost/perf tuning). Manage Kubernetes based data workflows
Cloud experience with AWS
Proficiency in at least one cloud warehouse (Clickhouse, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift) or datalake technologies (i.e Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, DeltaLake) and comfort with large-scale partitioning, clustering, and performance patterns
Track record owning data quality and data reliability for critical metrics; you've implemented tests, lineage, and observability that prevented or rapidly mitigated incidents
Ability to partner with engineers, PMs, and GTM teams to translate ambiguous business questions into robust metric definitions and data products
Experience building/maintaining a semantic metrics layer (dbt metrics, LookML, MetricFlow, or Transform) and/or reverse ETL to operational tools
Exposure to streaming patterns (Kafka/Flink/Spark Structured Streaming) and metric computation
Familiarity with experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, guardrail metrics) and causal inference basics
Domain experience in ecommerce / adtech / performance marketing
Infra-as-code (e.g., Terraform), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), or platform engineering exposure
