Lead Machine Learning Engineer at Jampp

WHO WE ARE

At Jampp, we solve the most complex and large-scale technological challenges in mobile advertising today.  We process over 2,000,000 ad requests per second, which amounts to over 1 Billion of data daily, across three global data centers. We rely on real-time machine learning models (with billions of features) that give us predictions in less than 20ms.

As a Software Engineer at Jampp, you'll write software that processes hundreds of thousands of operations per second, responds fast, scales easily, and performs all kinds of data processing and analysis, including accessing huge databases and applying machine learning algorithms.

If you are passionate about data structures and algorithms and enjoy coding for performance and efficiency without leaving behind code quality and maintainability, you might be the new Jampper we are looking for 👀

WHY DO WE NEED YOU?

Data and how it is used play a central role at Jampp and are at the heart of our product, business, operational, and financial decisions. 

As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll be in charge of one of the most important and critical parts of our Architecture. The machine learning platform is a module of our bidder, responsible for predicting in less than 20 milliseconds which banner and price we should bid for a given auction. These predictions are a key success factor of Jampp economics and our client mobile applications performance. 

This is more than a technical role; you’ll be a creative product and technical contributor. You’ll use your experience to inform our engineering process and decisions when building new features and ensuring the scalability and availability of the entire product.
