About Vibe
At Vibe.co, we're reimagining how brands reach audiences in the age of streaming. We believe streaming TV is no longer just a brand awareness play, it's the next great performance marketing channel. We're building the infrastructure to unlock this $100B opportunity.
Vibe.co provides an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising solution for marketers to unlock TV as a growth channel. Our all-in-one solution combines hyper-targeted audience segmentation, AI-powered insights and recommendations, real-time campaign optimization, and incrementality measurement, giving brands of all sizes the precision and transparency they've come to expect from social and search, but on TV.
Trusted by over 10,000 brands, Vibe.co reaches more than 120 million households across 500+ apps and channels, delivering an average 250% return on ad spend and 20% sales lift. The company hit a $100 million revenue run rate in under two years, ranking among the ten fastest software companies to reach that milestone.
Founded in 2022, Vibe.co is widely recognized as the category-defining platform in streaming TV advertising, bringing the power of Meta and Google-style performance marketing to the fastest-growing segment in media.
Data isn't a support function at Vibe. It's the machinery. Every decision (which ad, which household, which moment) runs on it. You'll join the Data Platform team, which owns the company's entire data backbone: the storage layer holding several petabytes, the batch systems that feed Product, Sales, Finance, and ML, the real-time streams behind spend tracking and retargeting, and the ClickHouse and Cube reporting stack that serves sub-second analytics to advertisers inside the Clear platform.
This role exists because we have real scaling problems (500k+ messages per second, petabytes stored, both growing) and we need engineers who can build the infrastructure to stay ahead of them. Three reasons to want this: you'll own projects end-to-end, from stakeholder requirements through schema, build, monitoring, and iteration; you'll work on genuine big-data scaling problems, not maintenance; and you'll have direct, measurable impact on the business, because here data is a first-class citizen.
Ship and operate production pipelines across batch, streaming, and reporting stacks, from requirements to monitoring
Design storage and compute for petabyte-scale datasets using Iceberg, Spark, DuckDB, and Trino
Cut cost and latency on specific pipelines and queries, with quantified, instrumented impact
Own the data contract for the ClickHouse and Cube reporting stack behind the Clear UI
Build alerts, SLOs, and runbooks so fewer incidents reach users
Lead incident response and carry on-call across production systems
Influence upstream producers on schemas, semantics, and SLAs for bid, win, and impression events
Build tooling, conventions, and data contracts that make the whole team faster
5+ years building and operating production data platforms at real volume, not analytics or BI-adjacent work.
Deep lakehouse experience across storage (Iceberg, Delta, or Hudi) and compute (Spark, DuckDB, or Trino)
Production experience with a modern orchestrator (Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect) plus dbt or an equivalent transformation framework
A proven track record of handling large volumes of data under time and cost constraints.
Operational ownership: on-call, incident response, alerts and runbooks you actually wrote
Cross-functional communication: you adapt detail to the audience and push back on stakeholders constructively
A column-store analytics engine in production: ClickHouse ideally, or Druid, Pinot, or BigQuery at serious scale
Batch and streaming together: Kafka, Kinesis, or Flink feeding a serving layer, not just nightly batch
The exact stack: Dagster, Spark, DuckDB, Iceberg, ClickHouse Cloud, Cube.js. Any two or three is already strong
Streaming TV advertising or programmatic background, or experience with compliance-related problems
At Vibe, we run on three values: Impact, Ambition, and Urgency. We tie every goal to a real business outcome, think 10x rather than settling for good enough, and move daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
You'll thrive here if you own outcomes without needing direction, default to action, and hold yourself to results, not effort.
This is a high-performance environment with high-performance rewards: you'll work alongside people who push you, with real ownership over hard problems in a market that's moving fast.
If that sounds like the best version of your career, we want to meet you.
