At Animaj we want to revolutionize 3D-animated content by equipping our creators and studios with innovative tools that will dramatically speed-up their content production.

At Animaj we’re developing cutting-edge machine learning based engines to better identify business opportunities, to understand audiences and entertainment content trends, and to recommend optimizations for their channels/content. These engines are powered by massive amounts of data on kids entertainment content that we collect from several sources (including Youtube APIs and social media) and that we ingest in our data platform.

Animaj is now looking for Machine Learning Engineer to help us to decide and implement the best data strategies to model the interest of the audience.

In fact, you will design, optimize and deploy algorithms. These algorithms are at the core of our understanding of our audiences and kids entertainment trends.

You will report to the Head of Data and will collaborate and collaborate closely with our data engineers as well as M&A, Ops and Digital Growth teams.

This is a great opportunity to join an entrepreneurial adventure at an early stage and to lay the foundations of Animaj’s ambitious tech vision.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, evaluate models for business opportunities sourcing, audience/content understanding and channels optimization (eg channel pricing, CPM estimation, topic extraction from videos, audience interests, reverse-engineer YT recommendations) leveraging data from several sources (Youtube API, social networks, etc)
• Perform multi-modal analysis to extract concepts from a pool of videos
• Perform explorations to understand what drives kids entertainment channels/videos performance on Youtube
• Design and run AB tests and experimentation to identify optimization levers for our Youtube channels/videos
• Manage machine learning models in production (logging, monitoring, alerting)
• Feed models outputs into our data pipelines to enrich our data models
• Collaborate with our data engineers to specify what data points/sources should be ingested
