Role will require hands-on programming skills.
The projects this position will work on include (but are not limited to) a range of creative artificial intelligence (AI) use cases such as: creative trend projection, multivariate creative and A/B testing, creative copy optimization, conversion rate optimization, creative asset management/versioning, image/video classification and object detection, custom audience segmentation, predictive scoring using categorical or labelled datasets, and targeting strategies.
This level of the position and the rate for this position will be commensurate with experience.

• Create and elevate current analytics methodology, build a replicable statistical framework, within the constructs of a composable analytics framework and the NEON platform
