Lead Data Engineer

Walker Sands is one of the fastest-growing integrated B2B marketing agencies in the world. We are looking for a Lead Data Engineer to help fuel that continued growth. The starting salary for this role is expected to be between $155,000 and $175,000 per year.

Walker Sands is seeking a Lead Data Engineer to join our DATA practice (Data, Analytics, Technology and AI) and help lead the data infrastructure behind our client reporting, measurement, internal operations, and AI-driven work.

This is a hands-on role, but not a heads-down one. Reporting to the SVP, DATA, you'll lead key technical parts of our data stack and be a strategic partner on where it goes next: what to build, what to buy, what to fix, and what actually matters to the business. You don't need a lot of direction and are comfortable working through ambiguity.

The role grows as you do. Near term, you'll work alongside our team and external partners to extend and strengthen the platform. Over time, you'll take on more of the technical ownership and help lead what comes next. And as the practice scales, you'll build and lead a small data support team handling tier 1 and tier 2 triage.
