Lead Machine Learning Engineer

WHO WE ARE

Jampp is a programmatic advertising platform used by the most ambitious companies to accelerate their mobile businesses. Founded in 2013, Jampp leverages machine learning, creative optimization, and proprietary advertising solutions to drive incremental growth for leading mobile advertisers such as Uber, Just Eat Takeaway.com, FREENOW, Rappi, and BIGO Live.

We’ve experienced tremendous growth over the past years: from expanding our global footprint to 10+ countries and building a team of 100+ mobile experts, to becoming part of the Affle Group, a fast-growing AdTech company that successfully launched its IPO in 2019 and owns multiple industry-leading platforms, including Appnext, mDSP, mediasmart, Newton, RevX, Ultra, and YouAppi, in addition to Jampp.

Today, Jampp is consistently ranked as a top mobile performance partner by the industry’s leading MMPs, featured across 10 categories of Singular’s ROI Index and listed as a top-10 performer in AppsFlyer’s Performance Index.

Data and how it is used play a central role at Jampp and are at the heart of our product, business, operational, and financial decisions. 

As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll be in charge of one of the most important and critical parts of our Architecture. The machine learning platform is a module of our bidder, responsible for predicting in less than 20 milliseconds which banner and price we should bid for a given auction. These predictions are a key success factor of Jampp economics and our client mobile applications performance.
