About PulsePoint:

PulsePoint is a fast-growing healthcare technology company (with adtech roots) using real-time data to transform healthcare. We help brands and agencies interpret the hard-to-read signals across the health journey and unify these digital determinants of health with real-world data to produce the most dimensional view of the customer. Our award-winning advertising platforms use machine learning and programmatic automation to seamlessly activate this data, making marketing, predictive analytics, and decision support easy and instantaneous.

Sr. Machine Learning Engineer, AdTech

As a member of our Data Science Engineering team, the Sr. Machine Learning Engineer, AdTech will focus on optimizing real-time bidding strategies and auction mechanics to efficiently spend ad budgets and deliver against campaign targets.

In addition to the above, you will work with the greater Data Science/Engineering teams on:

• Analyzing and optimizing real-time bidding strategies and online auction mechanics;

• Developing new or improving existing models of event predictions;

• New feature engineering for multiple machine learning models:

• User embeddings and clustering; fraud detection, etc.

• Cross-device user identification, cookieless mechanisms development;

• Mining different data sources;

• Supporting existing codebase for data integration and production support for our core models.

Location: anywhere in the world(End days at around 2pm ET)

• India, Netherlands, UK: we can hire as FTE
• Other countries: we can hire as long-term contractor

Requirements:

5 years minimum of experience in machine learning/data science

Key Skills:Python, Algorithms, Optimisation, NLP, Data Mining, Statistical Analysis, Neural Networks, Generalised Linear Regression, Multiclass Classification, Java, R

• Advanced knowledge of Python using standard DS packages (numpy/pandas/scikit, etc.); Being able to optimize and speed-up code.

• 3+ years of RTB Auction or similar online technologies.

In addition to the above, you’ll need to have strong knowledge in the following areas:

• Algorithms and Data Structures(e.g., sorting, search tree, binary heap, trie; time & mem complexities of algorithms)

• Probability and Statistics(e.g., hypothesis testing; Markov process and its stationary distributions, stochastic matrix and its properties; Bayesian inference)

• ML & DS(e.g., dimensionality reduction, geometry of PCA / SVD and of L1 / L2 regularisation, Decision trees and their ensembles, collaborative filtering, Thompson sampling / MCMC, Neural Networks, etc.)
