We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines. About the Team The Data Insights team plays a critical role in Aperture Cloud's Advertising organisation, leading measurement and analytics initiatives that power decision-making across the advertising ecosystem. We develop and manage products that deliver actionable insights for advertisers while meeting the operational and analytical needs of internal teams. We work closely with Product Managers, Data Science, Ad Sales, Ads Operations, and multiple groups within Advertising Engineering to deliver high-impact solutions. We are investing in machine learning and generative AI to transform how advertisers measure, understand, and optimise their campaigns — from predictive measurement models to agentic, natural-language analytics experiences. About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Machine Learning Engineer to design, build, and productionise ML and generative-AI systems that power Aperture Cloud's advertising measurement and insights products. This role bridges applied machine learning and production engineering: you will own models end-to-end, from framing the problem and engineering features through deployment, monitoring, and iteration at scale. You will work with large-scale advertising datasets and a modern data and ML stack — including Apache Spark, Apache Airflow, Trino, Druid, and StarRocks — and partner closely with software engineers, data scientists, and product managers to turn models into reliable, high-impact products. You will also help shape our generative-AI roadmap, building agentic experiences such as reporting and insights agents and a semantic layer for trustworthy natural-language analytics. The ideal candidate is a proactive, self-motivated professional with a strong track record of applying ML to real business problems at scale and a dedication to delivering measurable outcomes. What You'll Be Doing Develop scalable, effective ML models and data pipelines to power measurement, audience insights, campaign performance intelligence, and advertiser-facing analytics Design and run experiments, measure impact, and translate results into product decisions and customer outcomes Build and productionise agentic, generative-AI features — including reporting and insights agents, campaign-monitoring agents with human-in-the-loop controls, and a semantic layer for reliable, natural-language analytics Improve automation, reliability, and scalability across model training, feature engineering, deployment, and monitoring Partner with software and ML engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions from data ingestion through downstream products and APIs Work with senior stakeholders to shape ML and Gen-AI strategy for advertising measurement — identifying the right problems for AI, ensuring safety and quality, and driving advertiser productivity Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers, promoting best practices in ML and production engineering Lead data-driven experimentation and advanced measurement — including incrementality and lift studies that quantify the value of advertising on Aperture Cloud and its incremental impact across an advertiser's broader media mix We're Excited If You Have 5+ years of experience applying ML or data science to real business problems at scale Master's degree (or higher) and 4+ years of experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related field (or equivalent experience) Strong computer science fundamentals and the ability to design efficient algorithms and production systems Experience with ML approaches used in large-scale data problems (e.g., regression, classification, tree-based methods, embeddings, sequence models, or NLP) Strong intuition for defining KPIs, objective functions, and evaluation frameworks for ML-driven systems Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Scala/Java, or C/C++ Experience with large-scale data platforms (Spark, Trino/Presto, feature stores, data lakes, etc.) Experience building or integrating with LLM/Gen-AI pipelines (prompting, evaluation, retrieval, safety) Nice to have: Experience in AdTech, advertising data platforms, or campaign measurement Familiarity with analytics engines such as Druid, Trino, or StarRocks and visualisation tools like Looker Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerisation tools like Docker and Kubernetes Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and MLOps best practices Prior publications, patents, or open-source contributions #LI-JB6 What's Aperture Cloud's approach to hybrid working?

Aperture Cloud is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor.

In short, at Aperture Cloud you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV. We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer.
