HybridNew York City, New York, United States or New York, United States
Job Summary
Own the architecture and delivery of digital data integrations connecting web, app, game platforms, and third-party vendor feeds into core infrastructure. Manage the Adobe Experience Platform implementation strategy, translating stakeholder requirements into concrete pipelines, APIs, and schemas. Define integration standards across digital properties, enforce data quality, and resolve pipeline issues across engineering and business teams. Support clubs directly by building data feeds and acting as the technical point of contact for their data requests. Design identity resolution strategies to stitch fan profiles while respecting privacy, and ensure ad data flows cleanly to maximize yield. Document data flows and schemas to enable confident downstream development.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in data engineering, data architecture, or technical data solutions roles, with at least 2–3 years managing people / projects.
- Hands-on experience with the Adobe Experience Platform stack (Adobe Analytics, AEP, Real-Time CDP, or similar) at an implementation/architecture level.
- Strong experience designing and building data pipelines (batch and/or streaming) and integrations with third-party systems.
- Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (AWS preferred — S3, Glue, Redshift/Snowflake, Lambda, or similar).
- Experience with identity resolution and identity graph concepts — deterministic/probabilistic matching, cross-device and cross-platform stitching, consent management.
- Experience with ad tech data flows — ad servers, audience/inventory data, and how monetization strategy depends on underlying data quality and structure.
- Strong SQL and experience with schema design, data modeling, and API design for data access.
- Experience managing vendor or partner technical relationships, including reviewing external teams' proposed architecture and access requirements.
- Working knowledge of data security and access control practices (IAM, VPC/network design basics, PII handling).
- Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into a concrete technical plan, and to push back when a request doesn't fit the platform's constraints.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills — comfortable explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa, including club-side technical contacts.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience working with sports, media, or consumer digital platforms.
- Direct experience building or supporting club/team/franchise-facing data products in a league or multi-entity sports environment.
- Familiarity with CDPs, identity resolution, or fan/customer data unification at scale.
- Experience standing up new vendor integrations from scratch, including initial hosting/access model decisions (e.g., vendor-managed vs. internally managed environments).
- Background in ad monetization or programmatic ad data strategy.
