The organization spans ~60 people across engineering and applied science, and is in the middle of a significant platform re-architecture toward a commerce-first, ML-driven model including a modernized feature store and lakehouse layer, and a growing applied science presence across multiple geographies focused on commerce advertising. This role sits within InMobiʼs central TPM organization (which reports to the Group CTO) and works in close, day-to-day partnership with the Head of Technology for DSP and their leadership team (Director of Engineering, Director of Applied Science, Principal Scientist).</p> <p><strong>What youʼll own.</strong></p> <ul> <li>End-to-end program management across DSPʼs full portfolio, spanning platform/infra re-architecture, applied science/ML initiatives, and customer/commerce-facing feature launches. Youʼre the connective tissue across all three, not siloed into one.</li> <li>Cross geo co-ordination across Bangalore, Beijing, and Lucknow, as the applied science and engineering org scales, aligning roadmaps, resolving dependencies, and keeping distributed teams working off a shared plan despite time zone and org-distance challenges.</li> <li>Translating strategy into execution, partnering with DSPʼs engineering and applied science leadership to break down large initiatives (e.g., feature store migration, new bidding/commerce capabilities) into sequenced, resourced, trackable plans.</li> <li>Program governance, roadmaps, dependency maps, RAID logs, milestone tracking, and operating cadences (planning cycles, status reviews, exec updates) suited to a real-time, high-QPS distributed systems environment.</li> <li>Risk identification and mitigation across technically complex, cross-team efforts surfacing conflicts early, before they hit sub-50ms latency SLAs or launch timelines.</li> <li>Representing DSP programs upward and outward, reporting into the central TPM org and Group CTO leadership, while remaining deeply embedded in DSPʼs day-to-day technical context.</li> <li>Stakeholder alignment across engineering, applied science, and adjacent partner teams (data platform, commerce/monetization, infra).</li> </ul> <p></p> <p><strong>Who you are.</strong></p> <ul> <li> 3-6 years of technical program management experience, ideally within ad-tech, real-time bidding, or large-scale distributed/low-latency systems.</li> <li>Proven experience running programs that span both software engineering and applied science/ML teams, comfortable with the different cadences and artifacts each discipline needs.</li> <li>Working technical fluency with distributed systems concepts (gRPC, streaming/Kafka, Kubernetes/GKE, service mesh), enough to engage credibly with senior engineers and scientists, not just track Jira tickets.</li> <li>Working understanding of the applied science/ML project lifecycle, experimentation design, offline vs. online metrics, feature engineering, model evaluation, and rollout/A-B testing, sufficient to plan, sequence, and de-risk applied science programs rather than treat them as black boxes.</li> <li>Experience coordinating across geographies and time zones (India-China or similar), including navigating cultural and organizational distance across multiple sites.</li> <li>Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills, able to operate comfortably with Group CTO-level stakeholders as well as ICs.</li> <li>A track record of building lightweight but effective program operating rhythms in fastmoving, technically deep orgs, not heavyweight process for its own sake.</li> <li>Bachelorʼs/Masterʼs in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field preferred</li> </ul><div class="content-conclusion"><p><strong>The InMobi Culture</strong></p> <p>At InMobi, culture isn’t a buzzword; it's an ethos woven by every InMobian, reflecting our diverse backgrounds and experiences.</p> <p>We thrive on challenges and seize every opportunity for growth.
