This is a critical role to facilitate the connection between the human and technological sides of AI product delivery, and develop a team of analysts to the next phase both technically and professionally. You’ll grow your knowledge of the ad-tech industry and social platforms globally, learn about ML/AI operations and take part in the development of new technologies, all towards the mission of making the online advertising ecosystem safer, more transparent and sustainable.
