Industry : Ad Technology / Machine Learning / Optimization

Location : Bay Area (Hybrid)

Salary : $160,000 - $220,000 + RSUs + Benefits

Base pay range : $160,000.00 / yr - $220,000.00 / yr

Company

Join a global ad tech business building one of the highest-scale ad exchanges in the world, processing tens of trillions of decisions every single day . This team is the algorithmic brain behind the exchange, powering auctions, pricing, fraud detection, and traffic shaping.

They're looking for a senior applied scientist who loves building original algorithms from scratch, thrives in fast experimentation cycles, and wants to work alongside world‑class scientists and engineers.

Why this company stands out :

  • Operates at mind-blowing scale – true research‑grade challenges in production.
  • A culture that supports both deep research and real‑world deployment.
  • Opportunity to publish, innovate, and shape the future of programmatic advertising.

The Job

As the Applied Scientist III , your responsibilities will include :

  • Designing and building new algorithms for auctions, pricing, pacing, bid shaping, and traffic allocation.
  • Applying online learning, reinforcement learning, bandits, Bayesian modeling, and game theory to dynamic, adversarial environments.
  • Running ultra‑fast, hours‑level experimentation cycles to prove ideas in production.
  • Owning the entire model lifecycle – from research formulation through deployment and long‑term system impact.
  • Partnering closely with engineering and product to ship models that directly influence real‑time marketplace behavior.
  • Identifying unexplored problems and pioneering novel modeling approaches.
  • Working with massive‑scale distributed systems such as Spark and big‑data pipelines.
  • You

    You’ll be brilliant for this role if you have :

  • 5.5–7 years of applied science or algorithmic research experience with production deployment.
  • A PhD in CS, Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Physics, or a Master’s with exceptional experience.
  • Deep theoretical grounding in optimization, learning theory, probability, reinforcement learning, bandits, Bayesian methods, or game theory.
  • Strong coding experience in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy / SciPy, PyTorch / TensorFlow).
  • Experience working with large‑scale data systems (Spark, distributed computing).
  • A researcher’s mindset paired with a drive to ship production models.
  • Ad tech, marketplace, or dynamic pricing experience is great but not required.
  • Apply Now
