Staff Data Platform Architect, Antenna

• If you are a systemic thinker who thrives on designing elegant solutions to complex data challenges ranging from data fusion to PII and ML platforms, we want to hear from you!
• Experience: 10+ years in data-focused roles, with 5+ years in a senior architecture or principal-level role designing large-scale data platforms
• Pipeline Builder: A demonstrable track record of personally designing, building, and optimizing complex, large-scale data pipelines from the ground up
• Systemic Thinker: A proven ability to break down complex data problems into discrete, testable, and maintainable components
• Data Science & Business Acumen: Ability to partner directly with data science to translate modeling and fusion needs into scalable, performant architectural solutions that align with product goals
• Leadership & Communication: Exceptional asynchronous communication skills for a remote team and a passion for data quality, testing and security (including PII)
• Deep expertise in a major cloud ecosystem: Highly proficient in GCP or AWS and a modern data warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.)
• Direct experience implementing data clean room technologies or differential privacy

Desirable

• We're looking for a Staff Data Platform Engineer to lead the evolution of our core data analytics platform. This role is a high–impact opportunity to design and build our “next generation” data foundation
• You will be designing a platform built to ingest and process multiple concurrent data sources, support complex data fusion, and serve as the backbone for both our analytics and data science modeling initiatives
• This is a senior, hands-on “player coach” role
• You will be the chief designer and technical authority, translating our future growth goals into a tangible, modular architecture
• You will define and build the “master blueprint” and modern data stack that our globally distributed team will use to build world-class, scalable, and high quality data products
• This blueprint must incorporate cutting edge, privacy preserving technology (e.g. Clean Rooms, Secure Multi-Party Computation) to handle sensitive data
• You will report to our VP of Engineering
• Architect the “Next-Generation” Platform: You will audit our current GCP pipeline and design the ‘next-generation’ blueprint for a modular, scalable data platform capable of supporting Antenna’s ambitious growth goals
• Own the Stack: Act as the hands-on “chief designer” and technical authority for our modern data stack
• Solve Complex Data Fusion: Design and systematize the architecture for complex, parallel data processing. You will design subsystems and collaborate on data models to solve advanced challenges like entity resolution and identity stitching
• Implement Privacy-First Design: Architect out platform to handle PII and security from the ground up. You will lead the design and implementation of Data Clean Room technologies and other privacy-preserving techniques
• Bridge Data Science to Production: Partner directly with data science to translate advanced behavior modeling and fusion needs into performant, reliable, and scalable production data models and architectures
• Govern & Enable: Decompose your architecture into clear subsystems, data contracts, and development tasks. You will define and enforce the standards that enable our remote-first engineering team to build with quality and velocity
