Data Scientist

At Digital Turbine, we make mobile advertising experiences more meaningful and rewarding for users, app publishers, and advertisers — intelligently connecting people in more ways, across more devices. We provide app publishers and advertisers with powerful ads and experiences that captivate consumers, fuel performance, and help telecoms and OEMs supercharge awareness, acquisition, and monetization. In a rapidly evolving industry, we are constantly innovating and creating better paths of discovery to connect consumers, publishers, and advertisers across the mobile ecosystem.

Please note that Digital Turbine is a hybrid work environment-only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.

At Digital Turbine, we connect people with apps and content. Our DT Exchange is the algorithmic heartbeat of a massive real-time marketplace, operating at a scale where "big data" is an understatement and "real-time" means millisecond-level constraints.

The Role

We’re looking for a Data Scientist who is a builder at heart to join the high-performance team behind the decision engines that power 100s of billions of daily transactions.

This is a playground for the intellectually curious. You’ll have “kid in a candy store” access to the entire Digital Turbine data ecosystem. Your mission: hunt for new signals, fuse diverse datasets, and engineer features that give our exchange a significant competitive edge. If you get excited about designing complex models that have a direct and immediate impact on revenue, this is your home.

What You’ll Do

Design, Build & Deploy: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning models at a gargantuan scale (200B+ daily requests), optimizing everything from auction dynamics to user valuation.

Outsmart the Competition: In our auction-based world, your model's edge directly translates into millions of dollars. You'll go head-to-head with other brilliant minds in the industry.

Discover & Validate: Proactively explore our vast datasets to find untapped value. You'll then design and analyze large-scale A/B tests to prove your model's impact on live traffic.

Collaborate for Impact: Work closely with engineers and product managers to see your data science solutions come to life and drive the business forward.

Who You Are

You have a 2+ year track record of owning end-to-end data science projects - from problem framing and model development to deployment, monitoring, and iteration - backed by an MSc in a quantitative field.

You are a strong communicator and collaborator , able to translate complex data science concepts into clear recommendations for engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders.

You have a deep, intuitive understanding of the Ad-Tech ecosystem (RTB, programmatic auctions).

You possess strong foundations in algorithms, statistics, and experimental design, with expert coding skills in Python and SQL .

You have a "nose for value" - an ability to connect data insights to commercial outcomes - and the self-motivation to achieve something remarkable.

Bonus Points: Expertise with Spark or other big data technologies.
