The Role
Online video is the fastest-growing marketing channel online, and it’s expected to double in the next two years. Pixability brings a data-driven, scientific approach to video marketing. We are at the forefront of this revolution and use large-scale data analysis to make video content more effective. Data Science plays an important part in that effort. We build models, tools, and platforms to convert our rich data into valuable insights for our customers.

As a Data Scientist you may extend models which select the most appropriate channels to run a video ad. You may build optimization solutions which determine the best bid level across a given campaign, across all social platforms. You might also build additional functionality into our AI bot.

Who You Are
Data drives you. You are motivated by having a significant impact on the company and creating differentiated solutions within the industry. You are comfortable exploring and working your way through ambiguity. You value collaborating with a team of researchers who encourage your success.

The Team
At Pixability, the Data Science team is the research and development department. We build industry leading solutions which create significant competitive advantage for the company. Some of the problems we face have very amorphous scopes and require the team to embrace an experimentation and cooperation mindset. As such we rely on each others’ varying expertise to scope the problem into manageable, tractable, goals. Collaboration is a central tenant of the group, we plan together, execute independently and share with each other throughout the project. Therefore we value openness, transparency and accept the best idea, wherever it originates from.
