Experience building or contributing to AI agent context files (AGENTS.md), skills, or meta-repo patterns is a strong plus., * Experience building or working with contract-driven / configuration-driven data platforms where pipelines are generated from declarative specifications (YAML, JSON schemas). * Experience with Looker / LookML - building semantic models, explores, aggregate awareness, and dashboard development. * Experience with Kafka - schema registries, topic management, and streaming data integration. * Experience with data quality and observability frameworks - automated testing, watermarking, data integrity validation, and SLA monitoring. * Experience with Terraform or infrastructure-as-code for managing cloud resources. * Familiarity with data mesh principles - federated data ownership, data products, and self-service platform design. The successful candidate's starting salary will be determined based on a number of non-discriminating factors, including qualifications for the role, level, skills, experience, location, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at DV. ## Description You will join the Data & Analytics Platform (DAP) team within the Pinnacle engineering organization. The DAP team owns and operates two data consolidation platforms - Quantum (contract-driven, next-gen) and Analytics 2.0 (SQL-driven, legacy) - that ingest, transform, and serve billions of records daily from social platforms, measurement systems, and third-party partners. The data powers Looker dashboards, customer-facing reports, and downstream APIs used across DoubleVerify's product suite. What You'll Do * Platform Abstraction & Design: Design and maintain the YAML-based "Contract" system that allows users to define data entities, transformations, and SLOs without writing low-level orchestration code. * Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop the translation engine that converts user contracts into automated dbt models, Airflow DAGs, and Snowflake objects. * API Development: Transition the platform from static configuration files to a dynamic, API-first architecture, enabling programmatic creation of data artifacts. * Self-Service Enablement: Build tooling and guardrails that allow business units to deploy their own data solutions while maintaining global standards for governance and security. * Performance & Scale: Optimize the "translation" layer to ensure that generated jobs are efficient, cost-effective, and leverage the full power of the Snowflake/dbt stack. * Developer Experience (DevEx): Act as the "Product Manager" for your platform, gathering feedback from internal users to simplify the data development lifecycle. * Design and build data pipelines that process billions of records a day across consolidation, semantic, and externalization layers using the DV Internal Data Platform - a self-service, contract-driven architecture where pipelines are defined via YAML contracts and automatically deployed to Snowflake, Airflow, and Looker. * Develop and extend the Contract Interpreter - a Python library (Pydantic, Jinja2) that reads contract driven platform based YAML and generates dbt models, Airflow DAGs, and environment configurations for each deployment environment (dev, stg, prod). * Lead new initiatives and integrations with the world's largest social platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Meta, Snapchat, Reddit, Netflix, etc.) to measure ad performance end-to-end. * Build and maintain the semantic layer - design LookML models, explores, and views that translate consolidated data into customer-ready analytics through Looker. * Implement and maintain observability - build monitoring, alerting, watermarking, and data consistency checks to ensure pipeline reliability and data freshness at scale. * Leverage AI agents and tooling - contribute to and use the team's AI agent workspace (meta-repo with AGENTS.md context files, skills, and MCP integrations) to accelerate development, automate workflows, and encode institutional knowledge for AI-assisted engineering. * Design schema evolution and data migration strategies - manage schema versioning, backward compatibility, incremental vs. full-refresh deployments, and large-scale data backfills. * Work in multi-functional agile teams with end-to-end responsibility for product development and delivery - from contract definition to customer-facing data. * Collaborate directly with engineers from partner platforms on API development and data integration specifications. * Train and mentor a team of software engineers. ## Related Videos - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Reasoning about Rust: an introduction to Rustdoc's JSON format](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/848-reasoning-about-rust-an-introduction-to-rustdoc-s-json-format) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023)
