  • Monitoring pricing models to identify weaknesses and opportunities
  • Running A/B tests on new data sources, improved algorithms, and different product levers.
  • Responding to ad hoc requests from our business partners to analyze historical performance and deep-dive into anomalies or diagnose the impact of external events.

  • Two or more years experience applying data analysis and predictive modeling skills in a fast-paced business environment.
