Smadex is a leading advertising technology company founded in Barcelona in 2010 and sold to American-based and stock-listed Entravision in 2018 (NYSE::EVC). We are one of the top mobile ad-tech companies in the world and the largest Demand Side Platform (DSP) based in Europe, with our revenues over +$100M and consistently growing +40% YoY over the past years. And with an incredible 100% growth last year. Our mission is to continue to improve our ad-tech platform, especially the core of it, our algorithms, to help our clients achieve their programmatic advertising campaign goals. We want to give our employees a job they'll love, where they will be challenged to improve results through real-life engineering and data analysis and where everyone's implication has an impact. Are you ready to be part of the new unicorn? Keep reading! As a Data Scientist embedded within our Machine Learning team, your mission is to bridge the gap between theoretical model design and real-world production reality. You will be the analytical anchor dedicated to ensuring the performance and stability of our core models (Deep Neural Networks and Gradient Boosting decision trees) within our high-frequency, complex auction ecosystem with millions of ad requests processed every second.
