Principal Data Engineer IRC276334

Description

Data platform that bridges marketing strategy to scaled activation.

Requirements

Must have 10+ years of experience

Experience architecting ML-based solutions in conjunction with DS teams, software engineering teams, and Product teams.

Proven experience translating data science prototypes into production services with clear APIs, SLAs/SLOs, and acceptance criteria in high-volume, low-latency contexts (e.g., AdTech).

Proven experience designing, building, and operating batch/streaming feature pipelines with schema control, validation, lineage, and offline/online parity using Python, Airflow/Composer, Kafka, and BigQuery; leveraging Spark, MySQL, and Redis as appropriate.

Proven experience implementing reproducible ML training workflows (data prep, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation) with artifact and model versioning on public cloud (GCP strongly preferred).

Proven experience packaging and deploying models as containers/services with staged promotion, canary/shadow/A/B rollouts, rollbacks, and environment parity via CI/CD.

Proven experience running scalable inference (batch, microservice, streaming) that meets latency/error budgets, with autoscaling, observability, and SRE-style reliability practices.

Proven experience establishing CI/CD for data and models with automated tests, data quality gates, model regression/drift detection, and API/data contract testing.

Proven experience applying DevSecOps in ML systems: IAM, secrets management, network policies, vulnerability scanning, artifact signing, and policy-as-code on GCP.

Proven experience collaborating with data science on feature design, labeling/annotation strategies, evaluation metrics, error analysis, and defining retraining triggers/schedules.

Exposure to contributing to product strategy and KPI definition; planning experiments (A/B) and prioritizing ML features aligned to SaaS delivery and operational needs.

Exposure to coaching and uplifting teams on data/ML testing, observability, CI/CD, trunk-based development/XP, and writing clear documentation (design docs, runbooks, model/data cards).

Proven experience operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments; iterating from prototype to production with safe rollouts, clear ownership, and continuous improvement.

Strong English, excellent influencing and communication skills, and excellent documentation skills.
