Senior 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 engaging experiences that captivate their audiences, and we help telecoms and OEMs supercharge awareness, acquisition, and monetization. In a rapidly evolving industry, we are constantly innovating and creating better paths of discovery and connection across the mobile ecosystem.

We are also the largest independent operator of app growth and monetization platforms in the world. That is, we not only help mobile game developers get more players for new games, and also help them make more money on games they have already created.

Our business is based on real-time traffic, where having the best model yields higher-than-proportional benefits. As a Senior Data Scientist, uplifting a model’s accuracy by even a 1% improvement can lead to millions of dollars in revenues.
