Requirements
Strong production Python skills: you write code that runs in prod, not just notebooks
Solid statistics and ML fundamentals: you can reason about experiment design, model evaluation, and when simpler approaches beat complex ones
Familiarity with modern AI tools and good judgment about where they add value
Adtech or CTV experience: familiarity with RTB, programmatic advertising, supply-path optimization
Clear written communication: we're a distributed team and writing is how decisions get made
Comfort with ambiguity: you'll own problems end-to-end in a fast-moving environment, from scoping to shipping
Responsibilities
Write production Python that powers real-time bidding, model training, and campaign optimization
Train, deploy, and monitor ML models that decide which ads to show, when, and at what price: millions of bid decisions per second
Build and improve our incrementality measurement systems: helping advertisers understand the true causal lift of their CTV spend
Design and implement new ML products across the ad-buying lifecycle: audience targeting, bid optimization, pacing, and attribution
Use LLMs and generative AI to build internal tools that accelerate how we develop, test, and ship ML systems
Serve as a technical lead and mentor on a distributed engineering team
