decide how to place bids on ads to maximize their impact and
efficiency. Our team works with data scientists to analyze ad
opportunities at scale (over 100 billion per day) to find hidden
value and constantly improve ad serving for each of our thousands
of campaigns. We determine bidding algorithms that must make
decisions in milliseconds to win at the right price against
hundreds of other partners competing for the same opportunities. We

concerns, and quickly respond to changes in the digital advertising
ecosystem.

information from many sources to find and win the best ads for our
clients.

Build systems that use data to solve problems and measure the
success of our advertising platform
Work with data science to design and improve models for decision
