Tired of academia? Did you master the tools of machine learning and data science, but get more satisfaction from delivering business results and great questions instead of producing research papers? Are you building a deep intuition about data and how to define success before going deep with algorithms? If you're a builder who is not afraid to challenge conventions and bring new ideas to the table, we want to hear from you!Bring our tailor-made tools for the needs of the movie industry to the very next level.

- A system thinker who builds an intuitive understanding of data and defines success well before diving into algorithms.
What you’ll be doing:
- Attack seemingly impossible tasks. Iteratively chop away at problems without existing ground truth.
- Don't start from scratch. Draw from years of data engineering excellence and a treasure trove of great quality data you can model on from day oneIterate with boring technology and keeping it simple. Snowflake, Python, Pytorch, Scipy, XGBoost. You'll start introducing more complexity where it makes sense.
- Build prototypes based on smart assumptions in three days to outperforming the SoTA in three months.
- Stealing liberally from basic research instead of attempting it yourselfUnderstand our rich internal recommendations ML engine to pull fromWork on classical (non-)linear optimization problems through lots of tabular modeling, forecasting, normalization, and NLP.
