Data Scientist
Job Description
We are looking for a smart, ambitious and innovative Data Scientist to join my client Waterloo Road, Wynberg, Cape Town.
Company background
Vicinity Media is a premium location-based ad network based in South Africa with global reach. We provide real-time location-based ads to mobile users increasing ad relevance. For example, you could be reading news on a publisher’s site like timeslive.co.za in Long Street, Cape Town and you see a promotional ad for a KFC Zinger Burger 200m away. That is way more relevant than a generic ad for a flight to Dubai.
During the course of providing relevant location-based ads we collect consent-based information such as the user's location and other data points. We collect between 5M and 8M raw observations every day, with the total raw observations on storage in excess of 1 billion.
This creates a need for us to develop appropriate data-focused solutions like identifying a user's home and work location, common social points-of-interest visit behaviour, time of day news reading habits, type of content being read and many more, in order to provide relevant and personalised user experiences.
