What they need


  • We are looking for an Applied Scientist III to join our algorithmic and research science team
  • You’ll work on mathematically rigorous, research-driven problems at production scale
  • This role sits at the intersection of theory and application, designing algorithms that combine elegant modeling with measurable business impact
  • Specifically, our scientists tackle challenges across traffic shaping, fraud detection, ad quality, pricing strategies, and auction theory, along with their practical applications
  • We leverage the latest deep learning models alongside classical machine learning techniques to build innovative solutions
  • As the heart of the InMobi Exchange, our team optimizes the company’s core business functions and creates the strategic moat that sets us apart in the market
  • You will not just “use models”—you will formulate them, evaluate their assumptions, tailor them to our problem domain, and bring them to life in production
  • Many of our challenges have no off-the-shelf solutions; we require scientific creativity to bridge research and reality
  • In this role, you’ll operate at the intersection of cutting-edge research and massive-scale production, shaping algorithms that power a global advertising marketplace, making tens of trillions of real-time decisions every day
  • You’ll work in an environment where models are continuously tested, evaluated, and refined — with rapid learning loops measured in hours, not weeks
  • Collaborating with a team that values algorithmic depth and scientific rigor, you’ll have the opportunity to prototype, publish, and deploy work that drives measurable business impact
  • Formulate, analyze, and implement algorithms that power real-time auctions, dynamic pricing, bid shaping, pacing, and traffic allocation across a massive-scale ad marketplace
  • Design and experiment with methods in online learning, reinforcement learning, multi-armed bandits, forecasting, game theory, and Bayesian modeling—in non-stationary, adversarial environments
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deploy your models in production and run real-world experiments with rapid feedback loops (measured in hours, not weeks)
  • Contribute to the scientific community by publishing high-quality research, conducting internal seminars, and staying abreast of advances in machine learning, algorithms, and applied statistics
  • Evaluate the long-term dynamics of deployed algorithms, incorporating feedback, exploitation-exploration trade-offs, and incentives within multi-agent systems
  • Identify new areas for innovation by translating business challenges into research questions and proposing novel, high-impact methodologies
  • Translate mathematical ideas into practical, high-performance algorithms that operate at scale in production environments
  • Explore and close the loop between model predictions and real-world outcomes, refining algorithms based on system behavior
  • At InMobi, we’re building products that are redefining industries. Our ecosystem spans:
  • InMobi Advertising – Powering data-driven mobile marketing for the world’s leading brands
  • Glance – A revolutionary Gen AI-powered lockscreen & TV content platform transforming how millions discover and engage with content
  • 1Weather – One of the world’s leading weather platforms, delivering precise, reliable, and real-time weather forecasts
  • With deep expertise in AI, mobile, consumer technology, and digital innovation, we are home to some of the brightest minds in the industry
  • What sets us apart?
  • Not just what we build. How we build it. At InMobi, we balance our hunger for cutting-edge tech with a deep focus on our people - their growth, well-being, and potential- If you thrive on solving complex, high-impact problems and want to see your ideas shape the future of a global exchange, this is the place where your work will truly make a difference
  • Deep grounding in one or more of:
  • Online learning, bandits, RL, Bayesian methods
  • End-to-end ownership: you can go from idea to production and thrive in applied settings
  • Causal inference, decision theory, game theory
  • Ph.D. (preferred) or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline
  • Proficient in scientific computing with Python, including packages such as NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, or TensorFlow
  • 5.5–7 years of experience working on algorithmic or applied research problems, ideally with some production deployment experience
  • A researcher’s mindset: questions first, implementation later. You are thoughtful about assumptions and rigorous about validation
  • Prior experience in ad tech, marketplaces, or dynamic pricing is helpful but not required
  • Statistical learning theory, optimization, probability theory, and information theory
  • Comfortable working with big data platforms like Apache Spark, distributed computing, and large-scale datasets
  • Strong publication record (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, AISTATS, KDD, UAI, WSDM, EC, SODA, COLT) is a strong plus—even if not recent
