Expedia: Senior Applied Researcher – Machine Learning

We are looking for top-notch applied researchers and scientists interested in breaking new grounds to solve some of the most complex computational problems in the marketing domain. The focus of your job will be in developing state of the art machine learning algorithms to power various aspects of highly complex global marketing campaigns. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars participating in highly dynamic and competitive auctions in travel Metasearch sites (TripAdvisor, Kayak, Trivago), Paid Search (Google, Bing, Yahoo), Display Ads/Programmatic as well as in social media (Facebook). These marketing channels would benefit from solving a range of fundamental problems with varying levels of complexity, e.g., from inference problems that arise due to sparse data to solving complex optimization problems impacted by dynamic market and user behavior. We have rich, massive, and untapped data sets containing observation points that can be collected only by spending huge amounts of money.
