Role Overview

Our client is seeking a Senior Database Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with a forward‑thinking approach to data infrastructure. In this role, you will architect, develop, and optimize the data systems that power their identity and analytics solutions—working at the intersection of large‑scale data engineering, ETL process design, and AI‑assisted workflow optimization.

You will collaborate cross‑functionally to build and continuously refine core data assets. A key expectation of this role is the proactive application of AI tools and techniques to accelerate development cycles, identify optimization opportunities, and elevate the quality of data pipelines. Candidates with hands‑on experience leveraging AI in database and data engineering workflows are strongly preferred.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain high‑performance relational and analytical databases with an emphasis on scalability and reliability.

  • Architect and optimize ETL pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and delivering large‑scale structured and semi‑structured data.

  • Apply AI and machine learning tools to enhance database performance, automate repetitive processes, and surface actionable insights from complex data assets.

  • Leverage AI‑assisted code generation, anomaly detection, and query optimization techniques to accelerate development and reduce technical debt.

  • Partner with data scientists and engineers to integrate AI‑driven data quality checks and intelligent monitoring into pipeline workflows.

  • Support website visitor identification, ad‑serving attribution, measurement pipelines, and log‑file tracking through robust database solutions.

  • Evaluate and adopt emerging AI tooling relevant to data engineering—including LLM‑assisted SQL generation, automated schema inference, and intelligent data cataloging.

  • Mentor junior team members on best practices in database design, query optimization, and responsible AI integration.

  • Contribute to the evolution of the data architecture strategy with an eye toward real‑time processing, governance, and compliance in regulated markets.

 

Qualifications

Required

  • Expert‑level SQL proficiency with 5 years of hands‑on database development experience.

  • Proven database design and ETL skills across large‑scale, production environments.

  • Experience with Amazon Redshift or comparable cloud‑native analytical databases (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).

  • Strong grasp of data modeling, normalization, indexing strategies, and query optimization techniques.

  • Excellent analytical thinking and problem‑solving abilities, with a track record of resolving complex data challenges.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field.

Preferred

  • Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools into database workflows—such as AI‑assisted query tuning, automated ETL anomaly detection, or LLM‑augmented data pipeline development.

  • Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks applied to structured data collection, classification, and optimization problems.

  • Background in web analytics infrastructure: visitor tracking, tagging, log‑file analysis, ad serving, attribution, and measurement pipelines.

  • Experience as a database application programmer on big‑data or real‑time processing projects.

  • Database architect experience with a strong systems design orientation.

 

Why Join Our Client

  • Work at the forefront of identity resolution and data‑driven marketing technology.

  • Join a culture that actively encourages and invests in the use of AI to improve engineering workflows.

  • Collaborate with a high‑caliber team solving meaningful data challenges in privacy‑sensitive, regulated industries.

  • Competitive compensation, on‑site collaboration in North Andover, MA, and the opportunity to shape a foundational role in their engineering organization.
