Remote Senior Data Engineer (Data Architecture) Jobs in United States – Full-Time. $105K-$135K/Yr. Apply now on Wpromote.

The Role

As a Senior Data Engineer (Data Architecture), you will help design, build, and evolve the data infrastructure powering Polaris, Wpromote’s proprietary technology platform. You will work across Product, Data Engineering, and client teams to build reliable data solutions while helping us move from primarily client-specific implementations toward standardized, reusable, and scalable data capabilities.

This role will spend approximately 50–75% of its time supporting shared data products, platform capabilities, and data architecture, with the remaining time focused on individual client pipelines and solutions.

As our platform grows, we need to identify where common client requirements can become shared capabilities – particularly across strategic verticals such as Retail Media, B2B, and other emerging areas of the business. You will initially own components and technical designs within our broader architecture, with the opportunity to take increasing ownership of shared architectural patterns and data products.

A major focus of this role will be strengthening our engineering foundations around data quality, standardization, testing, observability, and maintainability.

At Wpromote, we believe that great work is only possible with great people. Our goal is to build a better, more inclusive work environment and support our people at every stage of their careers by prioritizing a strong work-life balance through our policies and benefits listed below. As a Best Place to Work according to both Ad Age and Glassdoor and Adweek’s Fastest Growing Digital Agency, we are moving fast to expand our teams and bring new experts into the fold to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in marketing.

We offer:

-Remote-first culture

-Unlimited PTO

-Extended Holiday break (Winter)

-Flexible schedules

-100% paid parental leave

-401(k) matching

-Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Pet Insurance

-Sponsored life insurance

-Short Term Disability insurance and additional voluntary insurance

-Annual Class Pass credits and more!

The anticipated annual salary for this role will range from $105,000-$135,000, based on consideration of a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, education and certifications, competitive benchmarks, scope of responsibility, market dynamics, geographic location, and respective state’s salary threshold for exempt employees. The total compensation package for this role will include benefits (listed above).

*This position may be performed remotely in most states within the US, with some exclusions

**While this role offers the flexibility to work remotely, we have office hubs in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where you can join in on learning and development opportunities, fun events, take advantage of a space to work, and collaborate in person!

***This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship
