• Contribute to damStack's Open Schema and unified customer_360 semantic layer.
• Build and refine SQL-based rule engines in Snowflake for priority resolution, frequency capping, and activation orchestration.
• Configure and manage Airbyte connectors for bidirectional data sync such as MongoDB to Snowflake and Snowflake to Klaviyo.
• Build and maintain Dagster pipelines to orchestrate dbt runs, Airbyte sync jobs, and cross-pipeline dependencies.
• Support integration of external marketing platforms into the damStack data layer.
• Work directly with client brands to understand data sources, schemas, and business requirements.
• Translate client data into damStack's standardized activity schema and entity resolution framework.
• Troubleshoot data quality and integration issues in client environments.
• Contribute to single-tenant Snowflake deployments, data quality tests, monitors, alerting, and technical design documentation.
