  • Design and analyze experiments, communicating results that draw detailed and actionable conclusions
  • Analyze and contribute to development of optimization algos and ML models for use in mobility matching
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as product, engineering and operations to drive system development end-to-end from conceptualization to final product

Requirements:

  • Ph.D., or M.S. in Statistics, Economics, Machine Learning, Operations Research, Computer Science, or another quantitative field
  • Minimum 3 years (with PhD) or 5 years (with Masters degree) of industry experience as an Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, or in a similar quantitative role
  • Strong knowledge of the mathematical foundations of statistics, machine learning, optimization, and economics
  • Proven experience in experimental design (e.g., A/B testing) and causal inference
  • Proficiency in using Python or R for data analysis, modeling, and algorithm prototyping at scale with large datasets
  • Experience with exploratory data analysis, statistical analysis and testing, and model development

Nice to have:

  • 6+ years of industry experience as an Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, or in a similar quantitative role
  • Ph.D. in a relevant quantitative field
  • Deep expertise in areas such as marketplace experimentation, causal inference, ML, or optimization, particularly in the context of multi-sided platforms, incentive systems, or logistics
  • Proficiency in SQL
  • Experience in algorithm development and prototyping, and with productionizing algorithms for real-time systems
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex analytical results into clear, actionable insights and influence product and business strategy
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to diverse audiences, including senior leadership
  • Experience leading technical projects and influencing the scope and direction of research
  • Familiarity with big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hive, HDFS)

  • Proficiency in SQL and Python with the ability to move from exploration to production
  • Clear communication and strong product thinking, able to influence decisions and define success metrics
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Shape product decisions: Data should guide decisions from the start. You will proactively explore our data to identify product opportunities, inefficiencies, and growth levers. You’ll translate complex findings into actionable insights that help PMs and business leaders prioritize what truly matters
  • Forecast marketplace dynamics: Strong forecasting prevents shortages and overbooking. You will model supply and demand patterns using robust time-series and probabilistic methods that support planning and operational decisions
  • Improve matching efficiency: Better matching means higher fill rates, happier customers, and less manual work. You will build and refine ranking and allocation models so the right talent reaches the right job quickly and reliably, whether through ML or other data-driven methods
  • Experiment with confidence: Good experiments beat guesses. You will design and run end-to-end experiments using methods suited for a two-sided marketplace (A/B, quasi-experimental approaches, switchbacks, holdouts) and interpret results with clarity
  • Ship models that matter: Models only matter when users benefit from them. You will own the process of turning analyses or models into production, working with engineering on monitoring, fallback strategies, and safe rollouts
