Data Scientist

The Data Scientist will be bridging the gap between data science and engineering while building our next generation of highly targeted search, bidding and matching platform. You will be a member of a small but highly talented team that has data scientists and data analysts. Our matching, categorization and user targeting services have only milliseconds to make accurate decisions using both historical and real time data. You will be enhancing and utilizing these services with scalable solutions. The ideal candidate will thrive on solving complex technical challenges involving big data and motivated by pushing the boundaries of using real time data to make automated decisions. Our team uses cutting edge software, including Akka, Apache SPARK, Kafka, NoSQL and more.
