About the Role

At PubMatic, data operates at unmatched scale. As a Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer, you will design and scale the infrastructure and frameworks that enable machine learning development, experimentation, and production across a global ecosystem handling trillions of ad impressions.

You will collaborate closely with ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product stakeholders to accelerate experimentation, maximize efficiency, and translate AI solutions from concept to production. This role offers direct exposure to petabyte-scale datasets, industry-standard ML efficiency tools (e.g., Triton inference, GPU/accelerated computing), and the opportunity to evaluate and adopt emerging AI/ML technologies.

You will contribute to the next-generation ML platform for adtech, enabling advanced use cases such as troubleshooting issues in bid stream, competitive intelligence, benchmarking, forecasting, reinforcement learning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), while also establishing foundational capabilities like embeddings and observability frameworks.
