About the team

Advertisers need to create targeted, personalized, and privacy-safe experiences for people to capture their attention. Our teams curate "audiences" and events, which group people with similar interests, lifestyle, demographics, or purchase intentions through deterministic event and predictive ML models. Our services ingest billions of events every day, evaluate them in real-time, and vend audiences and signals for every ad request received within a fraction of a second - allowing our advertisers to show the right ads to the right users. You will have the opportunity to work on one of the world's largest consumer and advertising data sets, as well as influence the long-term evolution of our targeting products.
