  • Strong background in integrating identity signals with DSPs and other programmatic platforms.

  • Practical experience managing identity integrations with data clean rooms (e.g., privacy-safe joins, audience matching, and measurement) while preserving data minimization principles.

  • Deep understanding of data governance, privacy, and consent management within an identity framework, and a track record of embedding these requirements into system design and operations.

  • Proven experience in handling data at extremely large volumes with big data tools like Spark, and building high throughput low latency distributed systems that utilized the big data.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and effectively manage multiple priorities.
