The posting, as Moloco wrote it

About Moloco

Moloco is an AI-native performance advertising company, bringing the power of AI advertising to the open internet. Founded in 2013 by machine learning engineers who had built AI advertising systems inside the world's largest technology companies, Moloco began from a shared mission: to build that same engine for the open internet.

Today, Moloco is one company with two businesses, built on the same compound AI system. Moloco Ads is our AI-native performance advertising platform, helping mobile app marketers acquire, retain, and re-engage high-value users across the open internet. Moloco Commerce Media is our AI-native retail media platform, enabling retailers and marketplaces to turn their platforms into thriving ad businesses. Both are powered by CARA (Compound Ad Recommendation Architecture) , the AI system behind every Moloco product.

At Moloco, we bring together those who've already solved hard problems and those with the drive to. Here, we work on some of the complex problems in AI advertising, at a scale and level of sophistication very few companies can offer. Come build what's next.

About the Role

Growth Data Science (GDS) is Moloco's global team of data scientists who partner with advertisers, sales, product, and engineering teams to maximize the effectiveness of Moloco Ads.

You will work in the overlap of customer-facing data science and product strategy, partnering daily with product, engineering, sales, and GTM teams to ensure that what Moloco builds gets activated effectively and that what advertisers need shapes what we build next.
