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.\nAs 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.\nIf 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.\nThe impact you'll make:\nFormulate, analyze, and implement algorithms that power real-time auctions, dynamic pricing, bid shaping, pacing, and traffic allocation across a massive-scale ad marketplace.\nDesign and experiment with methods in online learning, reinforcement learning, multi-armed bandits, forecasting, game theory, and Bayesian modeling-in non-stationary, adversarial environments.\nCollaborate 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).\nParticipate in scientific design reviews and contribute to raising the methodological bar of the team.\nContribute to the scientific community by publishing high-quality research, conducting internal seminars, and staying abreast of advances in machine learning, algorithms, and applied statistics.\nEvaluate the long-term dynamics of deployed algorithms, incorporating feedback, exploitation-exploration trade-offs, and incentives within multi-agent systems.\nHelp identify new areas for innovation by translating business challenges into research questions and proposing novel, high-impact methodologies.\nTranslate mathematical ideas into practical, high-performance algorithms that operate at scale in production environments.\nExplore and close the loop between model predictions and real-world outcomes, refining algorithms based on system behavior.\nThe experience we need:\nA 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.\n4-7 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.\nDeep grounding in one or more of:Statistical learning theory, mathematical optimization, discrete algorithms, probability theory, and information theory\nCausal inference, decision theory, game theory, auction theory\nOnline learning, bandits, RL, Bayesian methods\n\nStrong publication record (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, AISTATS, KDD, UAI, WSDM, EC, SODA, COLT) is a strong plus-even if not recent.\nProficient in scientific computing with Python, including packages such as NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.\nComfortable working with big data platforms like Apache Spark, distributed computing, and large-scale datasets.\nA researcher's mindset: questions first, implementation later. You are thoughtful about assumptions and rigorous about validation.\nEnd-to-end ownership: you can go from idea to production and thrive in applied settings.\nPrior experience in ad tech, marketplaces, or dynamic pricing is helpful but not required.\nThe InMobi Culture\nAt InMobi, culture isn’t a buzzword; it's an ethos woven by every InMobian, reflecting our diverse backgrounds and experiences.\nWe thrive on challenges and seize every opportunity for growth. Our core values - thinking big, being passionate, showing accountability, and taking ownership with freedom - guide us in every decision we make.\nWe believe in nurturing and investing in your development through continuous learning and career progression with our InMobi Live Your Potential program.\nInMobi is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer and is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities throughout the hiring process and in the workplace.\nVisit https://www.inmobi.com/company/careers to better understand our benefits, values, and more!","description_format":"text","description_chars":6619,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Advertising","Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T04:58:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":64,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.849,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":43,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/inmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/inmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T21:49:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32287,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1289},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1289"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Finmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Finmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Finmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/inmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Finmobi-applied-scientist-iii-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2976476}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"inmobi.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2976476},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
