We pride ourselves on bringing unrivaled performance and simplicity to Connected TV advertising.

It's what led MNTN to being named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2023. You can learn more about us and everything we do by visiting https://mountain.com/.

• Oversee the design and development of microservices, APIs, and data pipelines that power attribution.
• Champion engineering best practices like code reviews, automated testing, and continuous integration/deployment.
• Jump in with hands-on technical guidance when needed to unblock the team or provide architectural support.
• Take ownership of projects end-to-end, identifying risks and managing dependencies along the way.

What You'll Bring:

• 15+ years of technical experience in data engineering, data analysis, or related fields.
• 5+ years of data science and/or machine learning experience.
• Proven track record of building and scaling high-traffic platforms.
• Strong understanding of SQL, distributed SQL-based data warehousing, and operational PostgreSQL databases.

• Excellent communication, collaboration, and leadership skills.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Experience with ad tech platforms, ad tech concepts, and attribution is a plus.
