The Customer Intelligence 360 Audience team is looking for a Principal Software Developer to join us and improve our data ingestion and personalization capabilities.

In SAS Customer Intelligence 360, audiences represent real individuals—each with unique attributes, behaviours, and preferences. The challenge isn’t just organizing this data, but rethinking how it’s gathered, interpreted, and activated across the platform. That requires someone who can conceptualize new methods for defining and using audiences, not just improve existing mechanisms.

We are passionate about high performance web services and distributed computing to support advertising and marketing. We seek another like-minded creative individual ready to join a team that builds, maintains, and operates a software-as-a-service advertising product within public cloud infrastructure. Although we use many different programming languages within our solution, this position will primarily involve the use of Java, Python and AWS tools and services.

If you are a software developer that wants to work on a team that has ownership of the entire software development lifecycle, tackles complex problems, and delivers innovative solutions, then we would love to hear from you.

The Principal Software Developer on the Audiences team holds a role of significant operational influence within SAS Customer Intelligence 360. Their decisions directly shape how audience data is ingested, structured, and activated, functions that underpin the platform’s ability to deliver personalized marketing at scale. These decisions are not isolated to technical execution; they affect how marketers identify their customers, how data flows through the system, and how the product delivers value to our clients.
