What the job involves
- As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in architecting and scaling our data platforms, building robust and scalable data pipelines, and enabling data-driven decision-making across the company
- You’ll work with massive, complex datasets from a variety of third-party and internal sources — driving data infrastructure and platform evolution to support both real-time and batch processing needs
- In this role, you’ll not only write code but also influence the data strategy, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate cross-functionally with product, analytics, and platform teams
- This role supports our Identification product where you will improve the core pipelines that power our Identification product as well as design new processes that enable our data science team to test and deploy new ML/AI models
- The product delivered by this team is integrated into the core product stack and is a critical component of Demandbase’s account intelligence platform
- Design & Architect: Lead the end-to-end design and evolution of scalable, resilient data pipelines and infrastructure, driving architecture decisions that impact the company’s data platform long-term
- Build & Scale: Develop and optimize large-scale data processing workflows (batch and streaming), using Spark and related technologies, ingesting data from diverse internal and external sources
- Mentor & Lead: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to mid- and junior-level engineers. Review design docs, PRs, and contribute to engineering best practices across the team
- Improve Reliability: Build fault-tolerant, observable systems with self-healing and robust monitoring using tools like Airflow, Datadog, or equivalent
- Collaborate: Partner with cross-functional stakeholders in Product, Analytics, and Infrastructure to ensure data architecture aligns with business needs and SLAs
- Own & Operate: Take full lifecycle ownership of key data pipelines and integrations—from design to deployment to production support
Our take
B2B buyers face challenges that aren't met by most off-the-shelf marketing and sales software. Focused on customer sales (or converted from customer sales software), it usually fails to take into account the long sales cycles, unique advertising requirements, and account management needs of business sales. Since 2006, Demandbase has been here to change that with its account-based marketing platform designed specifically for B2B sales.
Competition in the digital sales space has heated up and Demandbase isn't the only B2B marketing firm in the sector, with other companies such as 6sense and Terminus offering marketing solutions. However Demandbase stands out by being the only demand-side platform built specifically for B2B advertising. This gives it a much more accurate identification of purchasing accounts and more precise targeting of advertising spend compared to its competitors.
Demandbase boasts a large and growing customer base including major clients such as Siemens, VISA and General Electric. On the back of several new updates and launches, as well as record bookings and strong revenue growth, the company has secured significant funds that will be used to support its next wave of platform innovation. The company was also recognised by Research In Action as a Market Leader for 2024 on its Vendor Selection Matrix™ for Revenue Marketing Automation Solutions.
