Hi *, Please accept my apologies in advance for being off-topic. We are currently searching (high and low) for passionate Python programmers for Berlin for a leading multinational provider of real-time ad trading platforms. The positions are all new and we want to drive the expansion across Europe and decided that Berlin was a great choice given the great local tech-scene. Altogether we're looking for around 10-12 engineers. Company overview is in a few sentences: - privately owned and very tech-driven (CEO is not some sales or financial guy but well known within the on Computational Theory research community). - develops media trading systems which are used by major companies like Google, Yahoo, Yandex, Facebook & Bing. - system is used to answer complex computational questions around probability, data processing and predict potential user behavior, user-interest and response over which advertisements to deliver.

From an engineering perspective this is highly challenging as it operates in a High-Availability/High-Traffic environment and requires Real-Time processing to decide what ads get displayed. A lot of parameters are being taken into consideration to decide what content gets delivered (a problem which is essentially NP-hard). The solution is cloud based (SaaS) and work is structured within agile teams with fast deployment cycles. On the market since many years and headquartered in the UK but with offices all around the world. (multicultural, multinational)
