VideoAmp is on a mission to create the best employee and workplace experience where people can bring their whole selves to work every day. We believe that accomplishing something great requires a special group of people who work hard, drive results, and have a blast while doing it - people who challenge the status quo and embody our values. People who say, “I’ll find a way,” instead of saying, “it can’t be done.”
Our engineers are passionate about creating quality, trusted solutions as part of a collaborative and dynamic organization. The successful candidate will be a detail-oriented self-starter with a passion for growth and a high standard for their work.
At VideoAmp, we believe in challenging advertising paradigms to maximize value for clients. We do this by enabling companies to execute business outcomes across their media investment instead of more traditional media metrics. VideoAmp is the software and data solutions company powering the convergence of linear TV and digital video advertising. Our solutions connect linear TV viewership with addressable data assets to benefit the marketing and media industries. This enables marketers and content owners to holistically plan, transact, and measure deduplicated audiences across digital video, OTT, connected, and linear TV advertising.
We’re looking for a talented and ambitious senior-level data engineer to join our team. This engineer will work alongside a diverse group of engineers solving complex data-oriented problems on a daily basis, often in creative ways. As a member of the Content Measurement Engineering team you will be responsible for delivering new product features, as well as enhancements to existing products, through a combination of ETL (Python + SQL), ETL Orchestration (Airflow), and API (Go) development. Our engineers take great pride in the quality, reliability, and efficiency of the products we develop. If you’re passionate about building complex optimized, reliable, and accurate data processing solutions at scale, then this is the right place for you.
This is a production-facing team, and thus you can expect to participate in the full lifecycle of the Advertising Tech products that our team owns - from requirements gathering, through the design process, implementation, testing, validation, launch, and ongoing maintenance. These products are the foundation of VideoAmp’s business, and this team is rich with opportunities to deliver high impact and high value as an individual contributor.
Our ideal candidate is passionate, humble, inventive, and results-driven and enjoys working within a team of like-minded professionals, with a healthy ambition for growth and development of their career.
