The mission of Scibids DV is to provide media buyers with fully automated buying strategies for display campaigns, leading to incomparable performances for a minimum of human work.
As a DataScientist, your role will be to evaluate and improve "Scibids DoubleVerify" bidding algorithms, which are Scibids main asset, and to actively participate into Scibids automation and development process: each business case not yet automatically handled by our product should be met by the corresponding product improvement.

This position will combine high development standards, a relentless curiosity, a strong understanding of business priorities and the ambition for your work to become a real game changer!

- workingwith massive datasets (billions of ads impressions/month) and millions of variables.
- solving non-routine analysis problems (not handled by off-the-shelf ML solvers).
- solving challenging scaling/engineering problems as our system produces thousands of ML models per day.
- working closely with the commercial and customer success team and help identify the business cases where a new algorithm is needed/existing ones need improvement.
