Champion responsible AI development, ensuring adherence to data privacy, fairness, and transparency standards.




What We're Looking For:



An advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. 5+ years of experience in data science roles, with a strong emphasis on AI/ML and R&D, ideally within the media, advertising, or technology sectors. Expertise in generative AI (e.g., LLMs, diffusion models, GANs), NLP, and/or multimodal AI. Proficiency in Python and key ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, etc.). Experience with data engineering, large-scale data analysis, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders. A proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, global, and cross-functional environment. A track record of published research, open-source contributions, or patents in AI/ML.




Ready to shape the future of media with AI? We'd love to hear from you.
