Staff Software Engineer, Ads Measurement & Orchestration

At Databricks, we enable data teams to solve complex problems by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform. Enterprises spend over $700 billion on digital advertising but have limited data and intelligence on campaign performance. We are building the data and agent layer to address this issue and seek a Staff Software Engineer to lead the effort.

The Impact You'll Have:

• Lead the ingest and normalization of advertising platform data at scale, handling rate limits, schema drift, backfills, and restated numbers.
• Design aggregation and identity layers to make figures from different platforms comparable.
• Develop agentic workflows to parse, interpret, present, and act on performance data.
• Set the correctness and evaluation standards in a domain with noisy and partially observable ground truth.
• Collaborate with product management, design, and engineering teams to build intuitive, scalable solutions.

What We Look For:

• 10+ years of engineering experience, including time as a tech lead or leading other tech leads on complex enterprise software projects.
• Hands-on experience with walled garden advertising APIs (Meta, Google, Amazon, TikTok) or equivalent.
• Working knowledge of ad tech data models, including campaign hierarchies, attribution windows, and conversion APIs.
• Familiarity with measurement approaches such as MTA, MMM, incrementality testing, and privacy-preserving aggregation.
• Experience shipping LLM-powered systems to production, including evaluation and guardrails.
• High ownership and bias for action in 0→1 environments.
• Strong collaboration skills across product, engineering, and design teams.
• Combination of technical and people leadership experience.
