Senior Data Engineer - Internal Measurement

Samba TV tracks streaming and broadcast video across the world with our proprietary data and technology. We are on a mission to fundamentally transform the viewing experience for everyone. Our data enables media companies to connect with audiences for new shows and movies, and enables advertisers to engage viewers and measure reach across all their devices. We have an amazing story with a unique perspective on culture formed by a global footprint of data and AI-driven insights.

We are seeking a Data Engineer to join our Internal Data and Performance (IDP) team that is a part of the Internal Measurement department. The team’s mission is to serve as the authoritative source of truth for internal data health and operational metrics - owning and maintaining systems that track the company's television footprint, partner payments, and data quality, while partnering with other technical teams to drive visibility and data-driven decision-making across the organization.

What You'll Do:
•
Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that power internal metrics, dashboards, and reporting across the Technology and Product organizations.

•
Analyze and improve the efficiency, scalability, and stability of data collection, storage, and retrieval processes for our core systems.

•
Work in collaboration with data scientists/data analysts to develop new and improved algorithms that best capture the value of our data.

•
Own and operate Airflow DAGs and other orchestration workflows, ensuring reliable and timely delivery of internal data products.

•
Participate in code reviews, contribute to documentation, and help raise engineering standards within the team.

Who You Are:
•
4+ years of professional development experience building high-performance, large-scale applications/pipelines.

•
Strong proficiency in Python/PySpark and SQL. While we work primarily in Python/PySpark, we acknowledge that engineers with sound fundamentals can pick up new languages relatively quickly.

•
Hands-on experience with Airflow or a similar orchestration tool.

•
Experience with Databricks or similar data lakehouse platforms is desirable.

•
Strong analytical skills and a genuine curiosity for understanding data - you should be comfortable getting deep into datasets to identify problems and opportunities.

•
Strong communication skills, especially in written form as we are a distributed team with members in both Warsaw and San Francisco.

•
Solid computer science fundamentals - data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.

•
Familiarity with FinOps concepts or cloud cost management is a plus, but not required.
