Come join our AI team in Copenhagen. As a data scientist in the AI team, you will precipitate in the development and improvement of our machine learning engine and help communicate results to internal and external users. We offer an exciting environment where you can learn about marketing-AI, while working with some of the most cutting-edge technologies in the field.

We believe our technology is currently “best in class”, nevertheless we have a multitude of planned R&D projects that require strengthening our team. You will have the chance to participate in all phases of projects from initial planning to research and development and finally deployment and training.

Our team works in close collaboration with software engineers in the Platform Development team as well as colleagues in Product Delivery and Customer Success. You will have daily interaction with these teams.

About the role

As a Data Scientist in the AI team, what you’ll probably spend most of your time on is:

• Explain our technology to internal and external stakeholders.

• Develop new features to our framework that allows for improved model accuracy, improved model generality, improvements of compute requirements.

• Contribute and develop automated visualizations/dashboards/reports with relevant output statistics of the model and data.

• Collaborating with teams that utilize the models.

• Write code that eventually goes into production.

• Keep current with new advances in our field.

Specifically, you will have the opportunity to work with and master the following domain areas and technologies:

• Bayesian Inference and hierarchical models.

• Model based machine learning.

• Optimization implementations using Stochastic Gradient Descent.

• Integer programming for use in optimization problems.

• Result extraction from black-box models.

• Computational Graphs used to build machine learning models.

• Containerisation and deployment using Docker and Kubernetes.

About you

We imagine that you are an ambitious data scientist who takes pride in getting the details right, but at the same time are concerned with the overall outcome. You take responsibility and are eager to learn and grow fast. You like the math but are not afraid of presenting the result in front of a group or pitching the technology to a potential client. We do not offer sponsorship for an employment visa, and we require that you can work in Denmark without the need for any additional visa applications.

Requirements

• While we invite all interested candidates to apply, we imagine the ideal candidate would fit one of these categories: A masters degree within the field of machine learning or data science, a PhD in math, physics, computer science, statistics, engineering or similar, or extensive relevant experience outside academia.

• Extensive experience in data analysis and modeling.

• A self-starter, a good communicator, and willing to present and advocate the team’s work to other stakeholders.

• Experienced in R, Python or similar. You will primarily write code in R.

• Experienced in visualizing complex data.

Bonus competences:

• Experience with professional software development.

• Experience with compiler theory.

• Experience with optimization problems.

• Knowledge of AWS, Docker and Kubernetes technologies.

If you see yourself as a part of our team and believe that you can contribute something valuable, please apply for the position!

About Blackwood Seven

Blackwood Seven has built a Media AI Platform, HamiltonAI, for providing key insights of a company’s media investments, optimizing future media investments, and predicting future business results. HamiltonAI provides information such as: “Was TV advertisement more effective than my online campaign?”, “Did my increased advertisements spending last month pay off?”, “Was 2022 marketing more effective than 2021?” and “what is the optimal spending of a campaign during the coming winter period?”. The platform applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to media planning across all offline and online media channels.

In 2022 Blackwood Seven became part of the Kantar family. Blackwood Seven teams are being integrated into the Kantar organization, where HamiltonAI is a prioritized product with big growth expectations.
