We empower hundreds of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance every day.

StackAdapt is a Remote First company, and we are open to candidates located anywhere in the UK for this position.

What you'll be doing:

• Innovate ML algorithms to maximize ROI and advertising performance. This ranges from creating entirely new algorithms, to improvements on state-of-the-art methods, to development using a deep understanding of classic methods.
• Write production code, sometimes collaborating with Data Engineers, to implement the novel ML algorithms.
• Prototype potential algorithms and pipelines, test them using historical data, and iterate to modify based on insights.

What you'll bring to the table:

• Have a Masters degree or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Operations Research, or a related field, with dual degrees a plus.
• Have the ability to take an ambiguously defined task, and break it down into actionable steps.
