Overview Of The Role
We are looking for an Applied Scientist II to join our algorithmic and research science team. Youll 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 companys core business functions and creates the strategic moat that sets us apart in the market. You will not just use modelsyou 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.
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.
The Impact Youll Make
In this role youll 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. Youll 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 youll 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.
