PubMatic is a publisher-focused sell-side platform for an open digital media future.

Featuring leading omni-channel revenue automation technology for publishers and enterprise-grade programmatic tools for media buyers, PubMatic's publisher-first approach enables advertisers to access premium inventory at scale.

Processing over one trillion ad impressions per month, PubMatic has created a global infrastructure to drive publisher monetization and control over their ad inventory.

Since 2006, PubMatic's focus on data and technology innovation has fueled the rise of the programmatic industry as a whole. Headquartered in Redwood City, California, PubMatic operates 13 offices and six data centers worldwide.

We are looking for a strong Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer (MLE) - a proven 'doer' to develop, implement and extend data-intensive ML software for real-time auctioning, ad inventory estimation, and audience segmentations.

You will design and implement core components of our algorithms, as well as model and monetize the terabytes of structured data that PubMatic generates daily.

Working with our Data Science and Ad Serving teams, you will apply ML to help get things done.

Responsibilities:

Development and implementation of data-intensive ML algorithms and software for real-time auctioning, ad inventory estimation, audience segmentations, and related AdTech applications.

Working with data scientists, product managers, and software engineers to develop and support the software for new ML products.
