Job Description:

Thanks for your interest in SET by Conversant, an Epsilon company! Here's the deal. You're not just applying to some basic technology company. Rather you're applying to a powerhouse that's changing the face of an industry! We couldn't have done any of that without our team of superstars and a culture that celebrates each one of them. Individuals matter just as much within our walls as they do in the 1:1 marketing programs we create for clients. Here's what we believe in at Conversant:
Excellence - We work toward perfection in all that we do, and we do not settle for second best. Passion - We enjoy what we do, and our teamwork, drive and focus help us discover just how good we can be. Service - We delight our client partners by providing exceptional value and unparalleled service. Integrity - We are open, honest, trustworthy and respectful with clients, our co-workers and our community. Leadership - We are leaders, not followers. Ownership - We are accountable and responsible for our client's success. New Ideas - We initiate change to improve our business, products, services and solutions.
Conversant is committed to one simple but truly exciting principle: each person is different and every person matters. This mindset fuels everything we do for our clients and for each other. We do magic for our clients and we have fun doing it. If that sounds like your sort of place, we'd love to hear more from you.
Our Video division works with the best tools, languages, and platforms to solve exciting problems on a daily basis. A fast paced engineering team focuses on building new products and technology using agile/XP methodology. A highly open, collaborative environment, which gives you the ability to excel at both technical and personal goals.
Contextual Classification is the process of automatically categorizing content, recognizing people and logos, and identifying languages; it's the application of machine learning and computer vision to the web. We use this technology to better understand the content people are viewing online, and to match it with the most appropriate advertisements.
This isn't something that can be done by people looking at web pages one-by-one. To work at Conversant's scale - billions of requests per day - we need to build large, distributed systems with best-in-class technologies such as GPU computing, pub/sub data streams, and deployment tools like Docker.
The Classification team is looking for a Lead Software Engineer to join their group.
