We are looking for a Lead Applied Researcher to design and evolve dynamic pricing systems for our marketplace. You will develop pricing as a feedback-driven decision system, balancing supply, demand, and business outcomes under uncertainty and delayed signals.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and improve dynamic pricing policies, including elasticity and supply/demand response modeling
- Frame pricing as a decision system under uncertainty and delayed feedback
- Develop, test, and deploy a real-time pricing algorithm
- Design and analyze A/B experiments to evaluate pricing impact
- Productionize models in collaboration with engineering, ensuring scalability and robustness
- Monitor system performance, including stability, feedback effects, and long-term behavior
- Contribute to methodological choices (e.g., optimization, control, reinforcement learning-inspired approaches)
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- Professional experience in Data Science, Applied Research, or algorithmic product optimization, preferably in marketplaces or pricing systems
- Strong background in statistics, optimization, and causal inference
- Proven ability to move from problem formulation to production-grade solution
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, and experience with production ML systems
Nice to Have
- Experience with economic modeling (elasticity, auctions, policy design)
- Familiarity with control systems, reinforcement learning, or online optimization
- Experience working with real-time, high-load systems
