Core responsibilities
• Build and maintain API/ETL ingestion from DSPs, ad servers and other advertising platforms.
• Normalize campaign data and maintain metric definitions used across dashboards and reporting.
• Manage cloud-warehouse structures and client data deliveries where required.
• Reconcile pipeline output against raw platform exports and investigate material variance.
• Build automated data-quality checks, alerting and monitoring for pipeline/dashboard health.
• Manage service-account/API credential workflows in the clients owned environments.
• Support platform migrations and rebuild data integrations without reporting discontinuity.
• Partner with Dashboard Developer and Programmatic Lead on definitions, mapping and release validation.
Requirements

• Experience reconciling data across multiple source systems and designing data-quality controls.
• Ability to own production pipelines, troubleshoot failures and document data definitions clearly.
Preferred experience

• Experience with DV360 or other DSP data models, ad-server data or marketing attribution feeds.
• Experience with scheduled reporting/alerting and secure client data delivery.
