Who We Are

Working at Koah means joining at the ground floor: you’ll ship code that shapes the company and the ecosystem we’re building. We move quickly, operate with high trust, and care deeply about craft.

  • Apply privacy-preserving clustering methods to categorize conversational data to improve advertiser outreach

  • Analyze and pore over data to find alpha that can improve the core ad matching system balancing publisher and advertiser outcomes

You might be a fit if

  • You have an advanced degree in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related field

  • You enjoy identifying and owning challenging problems, forming testable hypotheses, and conducting impactful research to drive significant business impact

  • You have a relentless focus on continuous learning and making an impact with an ability to question the status quo
