Core responsibilities

  • Build and maintain API/ETL ingestion from DSPs, ad servers and other advertising platforms.
  • Normalize campaign data and maintain metric definitions used across dashboards and reporting.
  • Manage cloud-warehouse structures and client data deliveries where required.
  • Reconcile pipeline output against raw platform exports and investigate material variance.
  • Build automated data-quality checks, alerting and monitoring for pipeline/dashboard health.
  • Manage service-account/API credential workflows in the clients owned environments.
  • Support platform migrations and rebuild data integrations without reporting discontinuity.
  • Partner with Dashboard Developer and Programmatic Lead on definitions, mapping and release validation.

Must-have profile

Preferred experience

  • Experience with DV360 or other DSP data models, ad-server data or marketing attribution feeds.
  • Experience with scheduled reporting/alerting and secure client data delivery.

What success looks like
