Job description

Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

Data clean rooms are redefining how the industry transacts on data. As signal loss accelerates and privacy regulation tightens, clean rooms have emerged as the primary vehicle for brands to connect their first-party data with Samba's unparalleled TV viewership and web intelligence—without either party exposing raw data. You'll ensure Samba's clean room products, and the applications built with the clean room, are the most capable, accessible, and trusted in the market.
