- Build and maintain robust, scalable data pipelines to support BI and analytics use cases across the company

- Develop and optimise ETL/ELT workflows using tools such as Airflow and dbt, ensuring quality, consistency, and thorough documentation

Our take
Digital marketers use cookies to identify their clients' users and personalize ads toward them, but the associated privacy issues are resulting in data giants such as Google proposing plans to ban them. This will significantly reduce the impact of digital marketing campaigns unless a new system for user identification arises.
ID5 provides identity infrastructure for digital marketing companies, taking a privacy-first approach by maximizing how first-party proprietary data is used, preventing reliance on cookies. The company has taken a shared approach to its privacy-first data infrastructure, enabling companies to exchange data to improve audience match rates, measure the value of the data, and facilitate people-based marketing strategies.
Despite competition in the privacy-first proprietary data market, ID5 stands out through its end-to-end user recognition and measurement toolset, helping companies not only identify their users but also measure their marketing impact on them. Furthermore, its shared infrastructural approach shows the potential to contribute toward a large-scale data ecosystem, as opposed to only benefitting companies on a granular level. Leading software companies, such as Microsoft, are taking interest in and partnering with ID5 due to these USPs.
