Solutions Engineer(Data)

Why we're hiring

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)

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.
