Job Description:
Our Story Xandr is a technology platform powering one of the
largest global Advanced TV and Video advertising marketplaces in
the industry. We scale our business as WarnerMedia people who
independently build the Xandr platform and brand. For more than a
decade, our data insights, premium content, powerful technology,
and scaled direct-to-consumer distribution have given us a
competitive edge leading us to improving advertising for all
brands, publishers, and consumers. How do we do this? With
talented, passionate people like you! We bring together people from
diverse backgrounds and give them an opportunity to bring their
ideas to life. Join our community to Make Advertising Better! The
Team Xandrs mission is to make advertising matter. Creatives (or
digital ads) are the transactional unit of online advertising: they
are what the user sees or hears (banner, video or audio ads in a
browser or on a connected TV). Being that creatives are a core part
of our clients buying strategies, our products are some of the most
heavily used on the platform. We build products that provide
consumers with positive, safe ad experiences, and we build
intuitive workflows that enable advertisers to successfully execute
their objectives. The Job Xandr is seeking a Senior Machine
Learning Software Engineer to join the Creative team. You will be
joining a team that is focused on using Machine Learning to advance
the products that we build. We are using Machine Learning to assign
attributes, such as brand, to creatives, identify malicious
behavior in ads, and inform users of potential issues before they
become problems. The Creative Machine Learning team develops and
trains multi-modality deep learning models (features include
images, video/audio and text) with large datasets that include tens
of millions of examples. The team extracts data and labels from
structured and unstructured data stores to create large datasets,
defines the model architectures, evaluates models, and tunes them,
deploys models in production and monitors their use over time. We
are only scratching the surface with what we can achieve at Xandr,
and you will have a front-row seat in advancing our efforts. The
ideal candidate has a strong experience applying deep learning to
at least one of the data modalities that our team works with (text,
images, video) and is interested in broadening this experience to
the multi-modality setting. Experience creating datasets in
industry and deploying deep learning models in production is a
plus. Team members recognize that Machine Learning is only one part
of a complete solution and collaborate with other engineers to
deliver a truly impactful product to our customers. You Will
- Develop infrastructure and tools to productionize new models in
a repeatable manner
- Iterate on current models to improve predictive and runtime
performance
- Prototype new ML approaches and design experiments for
evaluation
- Identify opportunities to apply machine learning methodologies
to solve business problems
