About the role
Navigator is building one of the fastest-growing commerce media networks in the market, a managed service and self-service business spanning US, EMEA, and APAC with an ambition to scale toward $300M in revenue. Data and identity infrastructure sit at the core of that growth: every advertiser and retail partner we bring onto the network depends on clean, well-structured audience data flowing seamlessly from ingestion through to activation, whether we’re running the campaign ourselves or enabling a client to activate independently.
We’re looking for a Senior Identity & Data Onboarding Engineer to own that pipeline end-to-end, from the moment a data partner’s hashed audience lands with us, through clean room structuring, to identity resolution and DSP-ready activation. This is a hands-on, build-and-own role for someone who wants to shape the data backbone of a network operating at serious scale.
What you’ll do
- Partner directly with data providers to define ingestion requirements for hashed email and other identifier feeds into our clean room environment
- Design and maintain the schemas, storage structures, and ordering logic that keep partner audiences clean, queryable, and correctly structured inside the clean room
- Work hands-on with identity partners (e.g. LiveRamp) to build and maintain the identity spine, resolving hashed identifiers into activation-ready IDs
- Structure and deliver audiences for activation across both our managed service campaigns and self-service client setups, including standing up PMPs and pushing deal IDs directly to a client’s own DSP seat
- Ensure resolved audiences are correctly packaged for our DSP stack (DV360, StackAdapt, Index Exchange, and others), regardless of who’s running the trade
- Troubleshoot match-rate, data quality, and latency issues across the ingestion-to-activation chain, working closely with both data partners and internal stakeholders
- Build repeatable, documented onboarding processes so new data partners and clients can be brought in quickly and reliably as the network scales
- Stay ahead of the evolving identity landscape (RampID, UID2.0, PAIR, and similar) and recommend where Navigator’s approach should evolve
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll bring
- 5 to 8 years in data engineering, identity resolution, or data onboarding roles within adtech, martech, or commerce media
- Hands-on experience with data clean room environments (LiveRamp Clean Room, or equivalent), including schema design, data connections, and query/analysis rules
- Working knowledge of identity resolution concepts and infrastructure: hashed identifiers, deterministic/probabilistic matching, identity graphs, and pseudonymous ID spines
- Practical experience setting up PMP deals and deal ID delivery for DSP activation
- Direct experience working with identity vendors such as LiveRamp; familiarity with Experian, ID5, or similar identity/data providers is a plus
- Comfort working across DSP ecosystems (DV360, StackAdapt, Index Exchange, or similar) and understanding how activation requirements shape upstream data structure
- Strong SQL and pipeline/ETL skills, with comfort in cloud data environments (BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar)
- A partner-facing mindset. This role sits between external data providers, clients, and internal teams, so clear communication matters as much as technical depth
