Why TAPTAP?
We sit at the epicenter of innovation in the marketing and advertising
world and have been spearheading mobile adtech/martech innovation since
2010. We are unique in that we take a mobile-centric approach when
developing sophisticated data-driven branding strategies for large
global brands. Since our founding, mobile has taken over digital while
at the same time blurring the lines between the physical and digital
worlds. For this purpose we developed, Sonata, our own proprietary
mobile engagement platform through which we have achieved global scale
serving clients in over 70 countries through our 9 offices in Europe and
the Americas. As we continue to grow our global footprint we hire only
the best non-conforming experts in digital marketing and advertising.
Our Personality: We are ambitious, demanding and
optimistic go getters. We are non-conformists, we are intrapreneurs,
working hard together as a team to drive and achieve our ambitious
growth plans. In short, we smell opportunity where others see
vulnerability.
What we do:
Sonatas technology platform supports a real-time bidding system that
handles over 10 billion events every day (vs ~ 3 billion daily Google
search queries), a reporting system that aggregates and analyzes
terabytes of data in real-time, and a learning system that applies
machine learning and business intelligence techniques to over 40
petabytes of data. These systems all work in harmony so that Sonata can
serve the right advertisement to the right user at the right time. The
Bidder and Data team sits at the core of our technology as the key
decision-making agent for our systems. We research and develop the
algorithms and models that make our software intelligent, as well as
implementing, scaling, and maintaining the code that powers our
production systems.
Some of the solutions we work on include:
Click/Conversion Prediction and Optimization: How do
you use the rich data we have about users to make predictions? How do
you handle rare conversion events, such as purchases, walk ins, etc.?
How do you deal with cold start problems?
Bidding Strategies: How do you translate a click or
conversion score into a bid? What if its a first price auction, second
price auction, or has a floor? How do you take into account pacing for
hour of day, day of week, and special holidays like Thanksgiving and
Christmas?
A/B Testing: When is a result significant? How do you weight across many different campaigns?
Fraud Detection: Many users of the web are not human,
but rather bots, crawlers, or other pieces of software that are loading
web pages. How do you detect these users and prevent Sonata from showing
ads to them?
Recommended Systems and Audience Profiling: Sonata
dynamically tailors ads to each user, including the products shown. How
do you decide which products to show in just a few milliseconds? How do
you build quality audiences based on several data dimensions (location,
navigation history and campaign events)?
We work with some of the most cutting-edge technologies to solve these
problems, including Hadoop, Spark, Flume and Hive. We program mostly in
Java, Node.js and Python.
