**Overview of the role:**

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, while owning problems end to end. 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. As an Applied Scientist, 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.

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 you'll make:**

- 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).

- Participate in scientific design reviews and contribute to raising the methodological bar of the team.

- 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.

- Help 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.

**The experience we need:**

- A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline is strongly preferred. A degree is not a hard requirement—demonstrated research depth and production impact count.

- 4–7 years of experience working on algorithmic or applied research problems, including significant production deployment experience. Candidates with more or less experience are welcome to apply—we hire across Applied Scientist II, Applied Scientist III, and Staff Applied Scientist levels.

- Deep grounding in one or more of:

- Statistical learning theory, mathematical optimization, discrete algorithms, probability theory, and information theory

- Causal inference, decision theory, game theory, auction theory

- Online learning, bandits, RL, Bayesian methods

- Strong publication record (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, AISTATS, KDD, UAI, WSDM, EC, SODA, COLT) is a strong plus—even if not recent.

- Proficient in scientific computing with Python, including packages such as NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.

- Comfortable working with big data platforms like Apache Spark, distributed computing, and large-scale datasets.

- A researcher's mindset: questions first, implementation later. You are thoughtful about assumptions and rigorous about validation.

- End-to-end ownership: you can go from idea to production and thrive in applied settings.

Prior experience in ad tech, marketplaces, or dynamic pricing is helpful but not required.
Since 2007, InMobi has built the extraordinary. Beyond just technology. It has built a way of working.

Across 16 offices globally, through every pivot and breakthrough, one thing has remained constant: we are builders, dreamers, doers. We are fluid enough to move fast, grounded enough to own outcomes, and human enough to care deeply about the work and about one another.

Culture is at the core of that ethos. It has been co-created by the people who built this company and by those continuing to shape it every day. It lives in how we work, how decisions are made, how teams show up for one another, and how seriously we take the responsibility to build the best.

This is a place where ambition and belonging occupy the same space. Where the bar is high and the support is real. Where freedom comes with trust, and trust comes with accountability. Where you are valued not only for what you do, but for the perspective, judgment and humanity you bring to the work. Where you will be challenged by the work and supported by the communities, passions and experiences that shape who you are beyond your role.

If this sounds like the place you have been looking for, join us.
