Jobs at VigLink (Acquired by Sovrn)

VigLink is connecting content to commerce by enabling publishers to put their links, text and white space up for auction for merchants to bid on. By bringing liquidity to a market where none has previously existed, VigLink is significantly boosting publisher yield while providing advertisers with more control over their traffic and revenue. VigLink works with more than one million publishers such as AOL, CBS and Internet Brands and 30,000 advertisers. VigLink is located in San Francisco and is backed by Emergence Capital Partners, Google Ventures and First Round Capital. The culture at VigLink emphasizes employee happiness as much as it does quality of work. We value hard work, innovation and dedication, but we also value our individual lives outside of work -- you won't find our employees in the office at 8pm playing video games and foosball. You can expect a vibrant office full of people that value the work of their peers and treat their office mates like family; we genuinely really like each other. We're smart, too. We have multiple PhDs on staff and an engineering team that is comprised of internationally recognized talent. It isn't uncommon to find our Chief Data Scientist presenting his cutting edge work or our Marketing Manager organizing a global-scale conference. We offer competitive salaries, meaningful equity and unlimited PTO -- and if food is your thing, we've got you covered. We have a fully stocked kitchen and catered meals. Monthly company fun events are a "thing" here, too. From day trips to Angel Island, to Vegas trips we can't talk about, we like to have fun together and make it a priority. Here are just a few of the problems we're trying to solve: Context Inference and Entity Extraction: Identify the commercial context of publisher content, identify the relevance of commercial links to that content, and match relevant destinations to appropriate content. Large-Scale Data Processing: Ingest, correlate, and analyze data from billions of web hits pertaining to hundreds of millions
