• Experience with cloud data platforms like BigQuery, very large datasets, and modern BI tools (e.g., Hex, Mode, Looker, Tableau)

Preferred

• Familiarity with advertising signal ecosystems (event pipelines, identity resolution, targeting and measurement, lookalike modeling) and with ML applications for signal enrichment, forecasting, or personalization
• Experience building or shaping customer-facing data products such as analytics dashboards, benchmarking tools, or measurement offerings
• Experience with gaming, game platforms, or developer-facing (B2B2C) products, especially working directly with external partners' data or analytics teams
