About TvScientific

tvScientific is the first and only CTV advertising platform purpose-built for performance marketers. We leverage massive data and cutting-edge science to automate and optimize TV advertising to drive business outcomes. Our solution combines media buying, optimization, measurement, and attribution in one, efficient platform. Our platform is built by industry leaders with a long history in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification who have now purpose-built a CTV performance platform advertisers can trust to grow their business.

We are looking for an experienced ML Platform Engineer to join a team at the intersection of sysops, systems programming, architecture, and large-scale deployments.

As part of our team, you’ll think about datasets in terms of bytes, microseconds, and serialization formats, and help define the next generation of our training and serving stack. A flagship initiative for the coming year is building a Kubernetes + Ray backend for our model training pipelines, setting a new bar for scale and reliability. If topics like data locality, observability and anomaly detection, distributed databases, high-performance computing, array programming languages, data security, and reproducibility excite you (even if it’s just a subset), your expertise could play a key role in shaping tvScientific’s ML innovation in 2026 and beyond.

What You'll Do

• Scale the decisionmaking process for tools for the tvScientific AI team, from our workflows to our training infrastructure to our Kubernetes deployments
• Improve the developer experience for the data science team
