pubX is an agile, fully-remote, VC-backed start-up building artificial intelligence and automation technology to revolutionise the digital publishing industry.
We work on greenfield projects to help digital publishers unlock greater revenues, improve operations and understand data to help ensure their existence into the future. Digital publishers are our customers but we are a technology company, developing scalable solutions to enable digital publishers to compete.
We believe that publishers are a cornerstone of society and democracy and that if current trends continue, publishers risk being lost to the world, along with truth, objectivity, and knowledge. They will likely be replaced by walled-garden, echo-chambers that fuel and foster hate.
Culturally we operate with intelligence, respect, and curiosity, relentlessly pursuing ideas to improve our offering and execute our mission.
We are looking for a Data Scientist to help us build the future for digital publishing.
