Machine Learning Engineer

WHO WE ARE

Schibsted Media Group is an international media group with around 5500 employees in 31 countries. From Mexico to Malaysia, from Brazil to Norway – millions of people interact with Schibsted companies every day. We ensure that new and old sofas can be sold through our digital marketplaces such as Finn.no, Blocket.se and Leboncoin.fr. News reports are read and watched when, where and how consumers want through VG, Aftenposten, SvD and Aftonbladet. Carpenters are found through a couple of clicks. Prices are compared and the latest fashion is browsed. These examples are just some of the ways our services empower people all around the world in their daily lives.

The mission of our team is to classify our users into different groups (a.k.a. segments), based on their online activity. Currently, the segments are mainly used to drive our advertising business, but our modelling is increasingly used by Schibsted to create other smart and data-driven products and services. We are now looking for a passionate and exceptional machine learning engineer with experience of building machine learning systems that bring real value.
