We are partnering with a high-growth rewards and loyalty platform that sits at the intersection of consumer engagement, mobile gaming, and adtech. Their platform rewards millions of active users for engaging with apps and games while delivering measurable, high-ROI acquisition campaigns for integral advertisers. In this ecosystem, data isn't just a back-office support function, it is the core product. Every reward paid out, every game surfaced to a user, and every advertiser dollar attributed relies on the pipelines and real-time infrastructure built by the data team.
We are looking for a Lead Data Engineer to design, scale, and own the data architecture that processes millions of events daily across a high-traffic consumer rewards app and digital advertising network. In addition to driving deep technical excellence, you will build, hire, and lead a high-performing data engineering team from the ground up. Hire, mentor, and lead a world-class team of data engineers.
