The very definition of Television is changing before our eyes with consumer attention shifting towards an on-demand experience where viewing can happen on across traditional televisions, internet connected TV and even mobile devices. This multi-device experience is creating significant challenges to scale campaigns, unless technology is used to understand what consumers do, across all devices. The Innovation team at dataxu focuses on helping buyers and sellers of media to understand consumer trends across devices, and increase their efficiency, while at the same time reduce advertising clutter to consumers, by making ads more relevant. These cutting-edge capabilities have made dataxu the #1 platform in our space, as rated by Forrester research three times in a row, most recently in the Spring of 2017

The Innovation Data Science Engineer is a self-starter and responsible for generating analysis and models for internet enabled media access, across all devices. This person will work within the Innovation team to develop the next generation of reach measurement, campaign planning across devices, and measurement of return on investment based on experimental design. This person will be a team player that can develop new solutions quickly and think strategically about how they fit in the greater dataxu platform.
