Overview of the Role:

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to develop and optimize our ad science models, open-source LLMs, and the underlying infrastructure that powers them — with a constant eye toward performance and cost.

AI and ML sit at the core of InMobi's business, and our science teams are tackling some of the field's most interesting problems: creative optimization, user personalization, targeting, yield management, traffic shaping, and more. We're moving fast and deep into architectural research, generative AI adoption, compute scaling on the latest accelerators (GPUs/TPUs), and advances in reinforcement learning.

You'll join a team of experienced researchers and engineers who have been pushing the boundaries of ad science research for over a decade, working closely with data and platform engineering to build solutions that scale and serve the needs of every science team across the organization. This is a chance to shape the infrastructure and models behind ad intelligence operating at truly massive scale.

The Impact You'll Make:

• Build and support training pipelines and model implementations that maximize experimentation velocity
• Adapt open-source LLM infrastructure like DeepSpeed and OpenRLHF to meet InMobi-specific post-training needs
• Optimize online and batch inference for low latency and cost efficiency
• Build monitoring and evaluation solutions that keep our infrastructure reliable and our models behaving as expected
• Leverage the breadth of data features across our product portfolio to strengthen our data pipelines and unlock new features for training and inference
• Explore new platforms and ecosystems (e.g., JAX on TPUs) to help diversify our compute
• Collaborate closely with Applied Scientists on active research, contributing directly to experiment design and modeling

The Experience We Need:

• Master's degree in machine learning or a related field required; a PhD is a plus
• At least 3 years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, building state-of-the-art machine learning/deep learning systems at extreme scale
• Expertise in large-scale distributed data systems, including high-performance relational and key-value stores, orchestrators like Airflow, and data transformations in Spark
• Expertise in Python; familiarity with Java (especially in high-performance serving systems) is a plus
• Expertise in PyTorch or a similar ecosystem
• Experience with accelerator-based inference systems such as Triton, and optimization backends like ONNX and TensorRT
• Experience with cloud platforms and container orchestration using Kubernetes
• Knowledge of deep recommender systems, including two-tower and attention-based architectures, is a plus
• Knowledge of reinforcement learning systems — including RL approaches, reward signals, and post-training feedback loops — is a plus
• Understanding of the ads ecosystem (OpenRTB, SSPs, DSPs, ad exchanges, MMPs) is a plus

At InMobi, you'll be surrounded by people who…

• Think big and act fast: We're entrepreneurial, thrive in ambiguity, and love solving high-impact problems
• Are passionate, fanatically driven, and take immense pride in their work: We care deeply about the impact we create and continuously push our potential
• Own their outcomes: We take responsibility, make bold decisions, and execute with confidence
• Embrace freedom with accountability: We value autonomy and understand that trust comes with responsibility
• Believe in lifelong learning: We welcome feedback, challenge ourselves to grow, and aren't afraid to take smart risks
