About the job

Youtube optimization team focuses on delivering excellent performances to the advertisers advertising on Youtube. Each advertiser has a business goal to achieve. That goal could be getting most conversions given their budget, most clicks given a limit on cost-per-click, create awareness about their brand, or many other more advanced settings. Our team is responsible for the backend systems that power all these enhancements.

We manage advertisers’ spend and translate their business goals into real-time decision making on which ads to show. To achieve this goal we develop optimization systems by utilizing a variety of different tools such as mathematical and statistical modeling, auction theory, risk management, and machine learning (deep networks, Bayesian, etc).
