We are looking for an Data Engineer.

A fixed annual salary of $170,000 - $210,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world-class benefits.

Equity grants are issued in good faith, subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

About the role :

Join Rokt as a Data Engineer on the Metrics team, you will architect the semantic and data layers that define how Rokt measures success. You’ll transform raw product and GTM event streams into trusted, governed, analytics-ready models; codify business logic into reusable metric definitions; and build proactive monitoring to keep our “single source of truth” healthy and reliable at scale. You’ll serve as metric steward for one or more business domains, owning the semantic layer and data models end-to-end

You’ll partner closely with engineers, product managers, data scientists, and GTM stakeholders across Rokt’s Research & Development organization to enable self-serve insights and consistent decision-making.

What You’ll Do

  • Model data for trust & reuse : Build modular, tested transformations (e.g. in Spark / Python) that convert raw logs into canonical datasets and marts powering experimentation, product analytics, and executive reporting.
  • Own the metrics layer : Design and maintain a governed catalog of metrics and dimensions (e.g.Datahub) with clear definitions, lineage, and versioning.
  • Operate reliable pipelines : Orchestrate and harden batch / stream pipelines (e.g., Airflow / Kafka / Spark) with SLAs, backfills, and cost-aware performance tuning.
  • Proactive data quality : Implement unit / integration tests, anomaly detection, and monitoring (e.g  Great Expectations / Monte Carlo / Bigeye) to catch metric drift and upstream integration issues before they reach users.
  • Integration health visibility : Build dashboards / alerts for client conversion data health and integration metrics (e.g., EMQ, AQS), and drive root-cause analysis and remediation with partner teams.
  • Enable self-serve analytics : Create intuitive dashboards and templates (e.g., Tableau) that expose the metric layer and unlock analysis for engineering, PM, and GTM users.
  • Define logging standards : Partner with product / engineering to instrument event schemas and logging guidelines that improve downstream observability and data quality.
  • Document & govern : Establish style guides, playbooks, and change-management processes for metric and model evolution (including deprecation and backfills).
  • Raise the bar : Lead code reviews, mentor peers, and contribute to platform roadmaps across Rokt Research.

Requirements

Who You Are

  • 3-6+ years in  data engineering / data warehousing roles building production-grade data models and metrics at scale.
  • Expert SQL (Trino preferred) and solid Python for analytics engineering and data tooling.
  • Experience with Spark (PySpark or Spark SQL) for large-scale data processing, optimization, and distributed computation.
  • Hands-on orchestration experience (e.g., Airflow, Dagster) and comfort operating pipelines end-to-end (monitoring, backfills, SLAs, cost / perf tuning). Manage Kubernetes based data workflows.
  • Cloud experience with AWS
  • Proficiency in at least one cloud warehouse (Clickhouse, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift) or datalake technologies (i.e Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, DeltaLake) and comfort with large-scale partitioning, clustering, and performance patterns.
  • Track record owning data quality and data reliability for critical metrics; you’ve implemented tests, lineage, and observability that prevented or rapidly mitigated incidents.
  • Ability to partner with engineers, PMs, and GTM teams to translate ambiguous business questions into robust metric definitions and data products.
  • Experience building / maintaining a semantic metrics layer (dbt metrics, LookML, MetricFlow, or Transform) and / or reverse ETL to operational tools.
  • Exposure to streaming patterns (Kafka / Flink / Spark Structured Streaming) and metric computation.
  • Familiarity with experimentation frameworks (A / B testing, guardrail metrics) and causal inference basics.
  • Domain experience in ecommerce / adtech / performance marketing.
  • Infra-as-code (e.g., Terraform), containerization (Docker / Kubernetes), or platform engineering exposure.
  • Benefits
