JOB DESCRIPTION

Fox’s adRise team is hiring a Staff Data Engineer to help architect and scale the data platform powering our next-generation advertising solutions across digital and streaming platforms. This senior individual contributor role is focused on hands-on system design, development, and technical leadership.

You’ll work on systems that process billions of events and petabytes of data, enabling personalized, privacy-aware advertising experiences at scale. If you thrive on solving complex problems and want to shape the backbone of modern media advertising, we’d love to hear from you.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and implement scalable, reliable, and efficient data pipelines across various business domains.

• Lead architectural decisions for batch and near-real-time data processing systems, balancing flexibility with long-term maintainability.

• Contribute to the evolution of our data platform — from ingestion to consumption — with a strong emphasis on data quality, observability, and governance.

• Work on systems handling high data volume and throughput, ensuring performance and fault tolerance at scale.

• Drive best practices around schema design, data lifecycle management, and access control across environments.

• Work cross-functionally with product managers, data scientists, and analytics teams to understand data needs and deliver high-impact solutions.

• Mentor engineers through design guidance and code reviews, fostering technical growth within the team.

• Help define and enforce development standards, design patterns, and operational practices across data services

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Experience building large-scale, high-volume data systems in cloud-native environments.

• Strong proficiency in distributed data processing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Flink, Beam), with production experience handling massive datasets.

• Hands-on experience with Databricks or equivalent large-scale data platforms in the cloud (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, EMR, Redshift).

• Proficiency in SQL and at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Scala, Java).

• Strong foundation in data modeling, system design, and performance optimization.

• Prior experience implementing data governance and access control frameworks.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to lead through influence in cross-functional environments

NICE OT HAVE, BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER

• Experience in ad-tech, media domains, particularly with ad sales pipelines, identity systems, and DMPs.

• Familiarity with real-time/streaming data architectures and event-driven pipelines

• Exposure to open data formats and cross-platform metadata/catalog strategies
