Data Scientist

Join our growing marketplace business as a Data Scientist. In this role, you will support the organization in experimenting with new product features and strategies, build and maintain machine learning models in production, collaborate with various teams, and analyze large volumes of transactional data. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact on the business and be part of a team that prioritizes data-driven decision making.

• Support the organization in experimenting with new product features and strategies, helping to forecast and understand the impact of these changes.
• Build, deploy, and maintain machine learning models in production, operationalizing them in a sustainable, maintainable way.
• Collaborate with product, growth, and development teams to identify opportunities to incorporate a data science approach to product/feature development.

• You should also be comfortable partnering with stakeholders across the business — communicating your findings, building buy-in, and seeing your work through to real production impact
• An ideal candidate will have professional experience building machine learning models that are used to predict business outcomes — such as customer propensity to spend, churn prediction, price forecasting, or other relevant areas — and, just as importantly, experience operationalizing those models so they run reliably in production without becoming a maintenance burden over time
• You should have a curious mind and an interest in how a marketplace business optimizes its growth, with a vision for how to ensure innovation, transparency, and cost-effectiveness at scale

• BA/BS in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or Data Science
• Experience working with platforms such as Snowflake and Databricks
• Demonstrated experience operationalizing ML models in production — either independently or alongside an engineering team
• Strong planning, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Proficient in one or more programming languages, such as Python
• 3+ years of experience with machine learning models including development, version control, and deployment/serving of models
• Experience using analytical approaches to problem-solving with large volumes of data
• Experience working with data modeling software and on teams with data modelers
• Experience with paid search and/or paid social, and with experimentation that supports growth teams in producing better user acquisition outcomes
• A track record of getting stakeholder buy-in and commitment on experiments and initiatives — communicating findings clearly, addressing concerns from the business, and ensuring that the results of your efforts lead to production impact
• A demonstrated interest in related areas such as marketplaces, financial markets, or other related areas (hands-on experience a plus)
• Experience with marketplace businesses and dynamic pricing
