NIQ is the world’s leading consumer intelligence company, helping brands and advertisers understand what people buy, watch, and engage with. MRI‑Simmons, a division within NIQ, runs one of the most comprehensive and detailed consumer insights studies in the U.S., collecting thousands of data attributes from 50,000+ respondents annually.
Our Consumer Canvas product takes this data even further — mapping it to the broader U.S. population (250M+ adults) and enabling advanced audience targeting through partners like The Trade Desk, LiveRamp, TransUnion, and more.
We are expanding our architecture team to drive the next evolution of Canvas — identity resolution, data enrichment, privacy‑first design, and scalable activation pipelines.
Job Description
We are seeking a Data Architect to own and evolve the end‑to‑end architecture behind the Consumer Canvas platform. You will work across Snowflake, Databricks, identity systems, ingestion pipelines, and activation layers — ensuring our data is scalable, secure, privacy‑compliant, and highly performant.
You will partner closely with Data Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Product teams to build next‑gen solutions that power the future of consumer insights and advertising activation.
This is not a migration or maintenance role — it is a strategic influence position with the opportunity to architect new systems, components, and methodologies from the ground up
