Are you ready to revolutionize the advertising industry?

At Cognitiv, we are not just another AdTech company-we are industry trailblazers redefining media buying with our Deep Learning Advertising Platform. Since 2015, we have harnessed the power of cutting-edge deep learning technology and data science to transform how brands connect with their customers. Our mission? To bring intelligence to advertising and deliver unparalleled precision, relevance, and impact at scale.

With our innovative platform, advertisers enjoy unprecedented flexibility-whether it is activating Dynamic Deals through their preferred DSP, leveraging our managed service DSP, or utilizing our industry-first ContextGPT product. As a part of Cognitiv, you will be at the forefront of AI-driven advertising solutions, driving change and achieving remarkable growth in a rapidly evolving industry.

Now, we're growing!

The Role

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who's comfortable writing production-quality code and eager to grow their experience in large-scale ML systems, MLOps, and distributed data workflows.

What You'll Do

  • Contribute to the design, development, and automation of ML workflows across data ingestion, training, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Build and maintain scalable data pipelines that support high-volume model training and evaluation.
  • Partner with senior engineers to optimize system performance and reduce operational bottlenecks.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and ML Research teams to deliver reliable, high-impact systems.

  • Languages / Frameworks : Python (primary), PyTorch Lightning
  • Cloud / Infra : AWS, Docker, Apache Airflow
  • Data : ClickHouse, S3, distributed data processing tools
  • Models : Deep Learning, LLMs, Hugging Face ecosystem
  • Who You Are

  • Strong Coder. You write clean, efficient, and scalable code in Python, with an advanced degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • ML Systems Builder. You've designed or maintained ML pipelines, automation, or MLOps systems, and have a solid grasp of model training, deployment, and monitoring in production.
  • Distributed Data Expert. You're experienced with distributed data processing (e.g., PySpark) and understand how to scale workflows efficiently.
  • Deep Learning Practitioner. You've worked hands-on with PyTorch (bonus for PyTorch Lightning) and bring curiosity about LLMs and the Hugging Face ecosystem.
  • Collaborative Engineer. You communicate clearly, thrive in cross-functional environments, and take pride in building reliable, well-architected systems.
  • In-Person Collaborator. You're available to work onsite MTW in San Mateo, partnering closely with peers to accelerate progress.
