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. 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. Location : This role is based on-site in our San Mateo, CA office The Impact You'll Make: 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, forecasti
