Jobs at CrowdMob

TL;DR: My goal is to build the best machine learning team in the world. We’re starting in mobile ads to help entrepreneurs because it’s the biggest, fastest growing opportunity in machine learning at the moment, IMHO. Contact me at [email protected] to chat further! What I’m Looking For & What We Do ----------------------------------------- Most of all, I’m looking for kindred spirits with whom I can make a difference in this world. In the case of CrowdMob, I am looking for kindred machine learning software gurus to fix the mess that is mobile advertising. A little bit of background is in order: I recently stepped up from CTO to become the CEO of our company, and am focused on “getting the right people on the bus”. For us, that needs to be the best machine learning folks on the planet. We buy mobile ad impressions (in-app and mobile web) in real time on behalf of advertisers; that is to say, only the impressions that we think will be useful for the advertisers. We currently analyze at peak 11,000 impressions per second, but aim to increase that by an order of magnitude once we complete our A Round; the immediate opportunity is roughly to be at 100k/sec once we can afford the computational resources. The main challenges is to use machine learning to query against large and quickly increasing data sets quickly to find patterns that let us buy ad impressions even more intelligently. We have 10 features which we can optimize around (which ones they are we will try to keep as trade-secret as possible). Why Give a Sh*t About Mobile Advertising ---------------------------------------------- I really care about Mobile Advertising primarily because I have a big soft spot for entrepreneurs. Being an entrepreneur can be an incredibly lonely and uphill journey, and one of the biggest challenges is marketing. Unlike Steve Jobs, most entrepreneurs aren’t born as genius marketers, and need all the help they can get. Delivering ROI positive advertising campaigns is a very real possibility, but the tools today i
