Principal Engineer, Architecture — Audiences & Measurement

Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.  Samba TV's Product Engineering team builds the software that puts our data to work — customer-facing platforms, internal tooling, and the APIs and services that connect them. Our engineers own meaningful systems end-to-end, ship production code every week, and work directly with product, data science, and go-to-market teams to deliver outcomes that matter. As a Principal Engineer, you will own architecture and system design across our Audiences and Measurement product lines. These two systems currently evolve somewhat independently, and this role exists to bring them into architectural alignment — shared data models, consistent pipelines, and a unified approach to how we ingest, process, and activate viewership and audience data at scale. You'll set technical direction across teams rather than within one, and act as a thought partner to engineering leadership on the hardest design problems we have.
