  • You have a strong passion for building intelligent, data-driven systems that optimize performance at scale. You understand the complexities of ad auctions, bidding strategies, attribution, user behavior modeling, and real-time data processing and model deployment. You've worked with massive datasets and know how to turn noisy signals into actionable insights that drive revenue and efficiency.
  • You're a hands-on practitioner who can develop state-of-the-art models, but you also think strategically-identifying high-impact opportunities and aligning data science efforts with business goals.
  • You know how to influence product and engineering teams, navigate fast-changing priorities, and mentor others to elevate the team's capabilities.
  • You stay current with the latest in ML and AI, and you're always thinking about how to apply emerging techniques to deliver measurable results in a complex, fast-moving ecosystem.

  • Demonstrated experience collaborating cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to ensure alignment and impact at every stage of the solution lifecycle
  • Experience running heavy workloads on a distributed computing cluster (especially EMR or Databricks), leveraging technologies like Spark to work with large datasets.
