Description
Fluent is looking for a Data Engineer who can build, connect, and communicate. This role blends deep technical skill with client-facing savvy. You’ll be responsible for designing and maintaining complex data pipelines, ensuring accuracy and scalability, while also translating data realities into actionable insights for both internal and external stakeholders. What You'll Do Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and ETL processes using SQL, Python, and modern data stack tools (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, GCP, Azure). Develop and manage large, complex datasets that support analytics, modeling, and activation. Create data models and schemas that enable downstream use in reporting, BI, and audience segmentation. Troubleshoot and optimize data workflows for performance and reliability. Partner directly with clients and internal teams to translate business goals into data solutions. Present technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences — both in meetings and documentation. Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and engineers to improve data accessibility and governance. Ensure data integrity, compliance, and best practices in data handling. 5+ years of experience in data engineering, preferably in AdTech, MarTech, or audience/data-driven businesses. Advanced SQL and Python skills (experience with PySpark a plus). Strong understanding of APIs, data warehouses, and data lake architecture. Previous experience in a Databricks environment. Experience integrating multiple data sources, cleaning and transforming large datasets. Familiarity with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, or Looker). Excellent communication skills — you can talk data with engineers and business outcomes with clients. Comfort presenting technical findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders. A plus: experience with clean rooms, identity resolution, or audience activation workflows. What Success Looks Like You can independently build data sets that power insights and activation. You’re comfortable explaining why a dataset behaves the way it does - not just what it shows. You work well under pressure and can balance technical depth with client-facing communication. You improve the quality, speed, and reliability of data delivery across teams. About Us Fluent, Inc.
