As a Professional Data Scientist, you will join a cross-functional collaborative squad focused on a set of products or services.

You will collaborate with others in your team on the best solution, have a particular focus on developing ML solutions for production, and will work on all stages of the ML lifecycle.
Our Data Scientists are currently focused on several important projects. They’re creating personalised recommendations to engage buyers better, improving our search algorithm for a better buyer experience while helping sellers stand out, developing AI tools for tasks like creating listings and ads, studying how competition impacts seller performance, and upgrading our customer data platform for targeted marketing.
As part of our broader analytical community, Data Scientists collaborate closely with Data Analysts and Digital Analysts. Together, they foster a culture of shared insights, continuous learning, and mutual support through regular showcases, feedback sessions, mentorship programs, and skill-based workshops.

Benefits
