The ad says“Strong analytical judgment. You can reason carefully about metrics, experiments, uncertainty, and data quality, even when the underlying information is incomplete. You can distinguish a meaningful result from noise”
The ad says“Clear communication. You can turn complex analysis into a recommendation people understand, explain the reasoning behind it, and update your point of view when the evidence or a stronger argument warrants it”
The ad says“Technical fluency. You can understand how a system works, ask questions that move an engineering conversation forward, and write SQL when it is the fastest path to an answer. You do not need to be an engineer”
Traffic Shaping uses machine learning to determine which ad requests are worth processing
This helps publishers earn more while reducing Magnite’s infrastructure costs
We operate at the scale of trillions of ad requests per day and ship improvements frequently, partnering closely with Data Science and Engineering from analysis and A/B testing through release

Gather stakeholder feedback and turn it into clear product recommendations
Analyze large, imperfect datasets and evaluate experiments, explaining what the results mean and what we should do next
Develop prioritization recommendations for your area grounded in customer needs, product data, technical constraints, and business impact
Define problems clearly and draft requirements and user stories; proposing features and improvements when you identify an opportunity
Partner with Engineering and Data Science from ideation through rollout and validation, surfacing risks and tradeoffs early
Identify opportunities to improve our product operations, launch processes, and recurring workflows; recommending what to streamline or automate and helping to put those changes into practice

Preferred experience
Relevant domain experience is helpful, but not required. Experience with programmatic advertising, auctions, marketplaces, or another large-scale transaction system may shorten your ramp-up. Machine learning experience is also helpful but not required
A bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
Clear communication. You can turn complex analysis into a recommendation people understand, explain the reasoning behind it, and update your point of view when the evidence or a stronger argument warrants it
Technical fluency. You can understand how a system works, ask questions that move an engineering conversation forward, and write SQL when it is the fastest path to an answer. You do not need to be an engineer
Strong analytical judgment. You can reason carefully about metrics, experiments, uncertainty, and data quality, even when the underlying information is incomplete. You can distinguish a meaningful result from noise
2+ years of product management experience. You have owned product features, experiments, or improvements, partnering directly with Engineering and cross-functional stakeholders to take work from a loosely defined problem through a validated launch
Ownership and learning speed. You take initiative and develop a thoughtful first pass. You surface risks early, seek feedback before over-investing, and follow through. You get up to speed quickly in unfamiliar territory
