About the Role
As a Principal Engineer at Samba, you will own architecture and system design across our Audiences and Measurement product lines. This role focuses on bringing these systems into architectural alignment, establishing shared data models, consistent pipelines, and a unified approach to processing viewership and audience data at scale. You will set technical direction across teams and collaborate with engineering leadership on complex design challenges.
Responsibilities
- Set architectural direction and technical standards across measurement and audience systems, ensuring they scale reliably and remain extensible.
- Lead system design for high-impact, cross-team initiatives, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform health.
- Drive architectural convergence between audiences/segments and measurement to function as one cohesive system.
- Help define the technical approach to data clean room integrations for privacy-safe data collaboration.
- Act as a technical thought partner to engineering leadership, raising the bar on design rigor, code quality, and operational excellence.
- Mentor senior and staff-level engineers, and drive alignment on architecture across teams.
- Identify and de-risk technical debt, scalability bottlenecks, and single points of failure.
Requirements
- Extensive experience architecting large-scale, data-intensive systems (streaming/batch pipelines, distributed data stores, or audience/measurement platforms).
- A track record of technical leadership at scale without direct reports, driving alignment through influence and design rigor.
- Strong system design fundamentals: data modeling, distributed systems tradeoffs, scalability and reliability patterns.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills, with experience partnering across product, data science, and multiple engineering teams.
- Comfortable operating with significant ambiguity and defining technical direction where none currently exists.
- Ad tech or adjacent industry experience.
- Experience with data clean rooms.
- Background working across multiple time zones or with globally distributed engineering teams.
