Job Description

Part of the applike group ecosystem, adjoe is home to an advanced tech stack, powerful financial backing from Bertelsmann, and a highly motivated workforce to be reckoned with.
Meet Your Team: Programmatic Data Science
Did you know that in-app ads are sold in a real-time auction before they get rendered in thousands of mobile apps? Dozens of ad networks compete for every single view, choosing their best ad and deciding what price to bid in just a couple hundred milliseconds. We at adjoe have developed our own ad network that takes part in this competition, going against industry giants to present its own ads.
In the competitive real-time bidding landscape, the Programmatic Data Science team operates at a rapid pace, developing cutting-edge algorithms, to create systems that outperform industry giants. Our approach is deeply rooted in rigorous research into user behavior, publisher and advertiser objectives, ensuring an optimal user experience. We are a fast-moving team that rapidly translates theory into impactful solutions, using state-of-the-art technologies and collaborating closely with product and business stakeholders.

  • Grow and manage a data science team: hire new team members, organize routines in the team, set up guidelines (code style, documentation, best practices).

  • Be the owner of critical data science procedures (experiments, implementation details).
  • Align with the adjoe ads product team and adjoe’s Cloud Infrastructure team on priorities, implementation details, tools and best practices.
  • Contribute to the company’s strategic planning. Work on a long-term roadmap and quarterly OKRs.

  • You have a track record of architecting and deploying machine learning solutions, with strong expertise in recommender systems and neural networks.
