What you will do & what we offer

The mission of Scibids is to provide media buyers with fully automated buying strategies for display campaigns, leading to uncompared  performances for a minimum of human work. 

As a DataScientist, your role will be to evaluate and improve "Scibids DoubleVerify" bidding algorithms, which are Scibids main asset, and to actively participate into Scibids automation and development process: each business case not yet automatically handled by our product should be met by the corresponding product improvement. This position will combine analytical rigor, a relentless curiosity, a strong knowledge of statistical methods and experience in implementing them.

 

This position will combine high development standards, a relentless curiosity, a strong understanding of business priorities and the ambition for your work to become a real game changer!

 

On a day to day basis, your responsibilities will include:

 

  • working with massive datasets (billions of ads impressions/month) and millions of variables. 
  • solving non-routine analysis problems (not handled by off-the-shelf ML solvers).

solving challenging scaling/engineering problems as our system produces thousands of ML models per day.

  • working closely with the commercial and customer success team and help identify the business cases where a new algorithm is needed/existing ones need improvement.
  • identify and automate any repetitive process taking place at Scibids, including cases where this means developing some AI routines replacing “human common sense”.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

  • MS degree in applied mathematics (e.g., statistics, probabilities, operations research, machine learning).
  • Work / academic projects experience in data analysis or related fields (e.g., as a statistician/data scientist) with actual algorithms implementation in an industry programming language (e.g. Python, C++...) 

Technical stack relevant to the position

  • SQL
  • Kubernetes, Docker, Github
  • Google Cloud Environment, App Engine Standard, Cloud SQL, Google Cloud Datastore...

Cultural fit

  • Do things only once. No repetitive task survives ingenuity and automation: at Scibids, everything needs to scale!
  • Base your decisions on data points. Preconceived personal convictions rarely survive thorough confrontation with actual data.
  • Work in a team and be curious. Every Scibids member has stock-options and is focused on the same objective: make Scibids the next adtech unicorn! This means being interested in how one’s daily personal work fits in Scibids general strategy and having in mind the greater good of the company rather than individual accomplishments.
  • Have a good laugh. We are a young, hard-working team with huge ambitions: nothing wipes off long hours of work better than sharing a drink with the team!

Others

  • Contract type: End of study internship (French “Stage de fin d’étude”).
  • Based in Paris (75008) – Boulevard Haussman

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
