The InMobi Story  

We like big challenges. Building a new company in 2007 was no ordinary task. As the recession hit, the iPhone was born and launched a revolution. Mobile advertising wasn’t yet a thing, other than SMS, and venture capital funding was hard to come by for four guys in India.  

Yet with passion, foresight, and conviction, InMobi charted its own course - helping to transform the way consumers engage with their phones and create today's booming app economy wherein consumers now spend 4.2 hours per day.   

After fourteen years of innovation, our end-to-end advertising software platform, connected content and commerce experiences have formed a powerful engine for growth that activates audiences, drives real connections, and diversifies revenue for companies around the world.   

Our global organization of InMobians are excited to continue discovering and developing impactful technologies that will continue to transform people, businesses, and society.  

Overview

There are trillions of events a day in our system. That means that whatever models we use must be run at a tremendous scale with milliseconds in latency. We see the success of our models and experiments astonishingly quickly – our learning loop is not measured in weeks or days. It is hours and minutes. We live in what might be the fastest model-learning playgrounds in the world. We have built an infrastructure that enables model deployment at scale and speed. As data scientists, we sit alongside engineering colleagues who enable our models to deploy. Combine this with our growing variable set of hundreds of potential features (and growing!), and this is a highly fertile environment for building, experimenting, refining and achieving real impact from your models. If models fire, the bottom-line …
