Data Engineer
This role sits within our Omnicom Media Data and Technology team.
In this role, you will contribute to our config-driven data engineering platform (DMI), which standardises ingestion, transformation, and delivery of paid media data across 26+ ad platforms for multiple global clients. You will work alongside other like-minded data engineers to build and maintain ELT pipelines - from Cloud Function ingestion into BigQuery through to dbt-powered transformation - ensuring a high standard in data integrity and scalability.
This is an exciting role with excellent career opportunities within a high-profile team and scope to strategically shape the agency. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, contribute to a mature mono-repo data platform, and help drive best practices across the engineering team. Experience with digital media data is highly beneficial.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the end-to-end data pipeline - from Cloud Function ingestion through dbt transformation (staging → intermediate → marts) to analysis-ready tables in BigQuery.
- Write and update dbt models, macros, and Jinja templates, working within our macro-first framework that auto-generates models across 26+ ad platforms.
- Add new platform integrations and extend existing ones using platform YAML definitions and Python ingestion functions.
- Contribute to the Python CLI tooling that orchestrates client onboarding, config compilation, and pipeline execution.
- Help maintain GCP infrastructure (BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Scheduler) with guidance from senior engineers.
- Write and maintain tests (pytest, dbt tests) and support CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build).
- Collaborate with analysts and BI teams (Power BI, Looker Studio, Tableau, etc.) to ensure data models meet reporting needs.
- Participate in code reviews, suggest improvements, and contribute to documentation (MkDocs).
