Full Job Description
The Solutions Engineer will be a core member of InfoSum's North American Client Services team, reporting directly to the Senior Director of Solutions Engineering. This is a hands-on, client-facing technical role responsible for owning the full lifecycle of client implementations-from pre-sale scoping through post-sale execution and ongoing technical support. InfoSum is WPP's newly acquired data collaboration platform (acquired April 2025 for ~$150M) and serves as the foundational data layer for WPP Open Intelligence. This role will work with some of the world's most recognizable brands, publishers, and data partners-including Disney, NBCU, Netflix, Roku, Walmart, and major WPP client brands. What you'll be doing: - Own an assigned portfolio of WPP clients and partners, serving as their primary technical contact and implementation lead - Scope, design, and execute data collaboration solutions from initial discovery through go-live and ongoing optimization - Act as a "customer-facing DevOps resource" during the post-sale cycle-troubleshooting, building, and maintaining client implementations across multiple cloud environments - Write SQL queries, Python scripts, and build data workflows to deliver insights and activate campaigns for clients - Support pre-sale technical conversations, solution design, and proof-of-concept work alongside the sales team - Build and maintain technical documentation, implementation playbooks, and process standards as the team scales - Implement InfoSum's native app technology across all five major cloud environments (GCP, Snowflake, AWS, Azure, Databricks) over the next 6-12 months - Support growing WPP-internal initiatives including Data Meter (usage tracking), Data Catalog (asset discovery), and Dataset Audit (data validation) What you'll need: Technical Fluency: - SQL proficiency (ESSENTIAL): InfoSum's platform is built on a SQL-like query language. You must be comfortable writing, debugging, and optimizing SQL queries. - Python for data operations: Hands-on experience using Python to format data, create deliverables, and automate workflows. Must have actually coded in Python-not just AI-assisted familiarity. - Cloud environment experience: Experience working in at least one of: GCP, Snowflake, AWS, Azure, or Databricks. Comfortable navigating cloud storage, understanding data pipelines, and troubleshooting technical issues in cloud environments. - API integration experience: Has worked with or supported API-based integrations between platforms. Client-Facing & Problem-Solving: - Service mentality: Approaches technical work with a customer-first mindset. Treats clients as partners, not just recipients of your technical expertise. - Excellent communicator: Can translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders. - Comfortable with ambiguity: Thrives in fast-moving, evolving environments where processes are still being built and problems don't always have a playbook. Industry & Domain Knowledge: - AdTech/MarTech experience (ESSENTIAL): Must understand the paid media ecosystem-how advertisers, agencies, DSPs, SSPs, publishers, and data platforms work together. - Data collaboration or clean room familiarity: Familiarity with privacy-safe data collaboration concepts is a strong plus (hands-on clean room experience NOT required). Mindset & Attitude: - Hungry to learn and grow: This role will expose you to five different cloud environments, cutting-edge privacy technology, and some of the most sophisticated data teams in media. You need to be excited by that, not overwhelmed. - Process-oriented: Naturally thinks about documentation, standardization, and replication-not just solving one-off problems. - Proactive and ownership-driven: Doesn't wait to be told what to do. Sees problems, raises them, and proposes solutions. What we'll give you: Passionate, inspired people - We aim to create a culture in which people can do extraordinary work Scale and opportunity - We offer the opportunity to create, influence and complete projects at a scale that is unparalleled in the industry. Challenging and stimulating work - Unique work and the opportunity to join a group of creative problem solvers.
