We’re looking for an exceptional Manager of Data Science to join a team focused on the development of pricing and ranking Machine Learning models that power our real-time bidder, one of the most exciting and important products within Chartboost.

  • You have a sound understanding of Data Science and Machine Learning principles

The following experience would be a plus:

  • Ad tech and/or mobile games space

Perks:

  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance
