What you'll do
- Decide which Marketplace problems are real and which only look real, before anyone builds a fix
- Design how Marketplace decides: which signals count, and what good looks like for booking, matching and pay
- Tell the squad lead what to change and what to stop, and get a decision
- Build the thing that decides: data applications, monitors and alerts, not decks, using Claude and agents to ship your own tools
- Go and look when the data and the street disagree: the sort centre, the van, the shop
- Get the missing data built, and prove whether each change worked
- Own decision-making on booking, matching and shifts, and recommend on pay
What we're looking for
- Have owned the decisions a matching, pricing or incentive model fed, in a two-sided marketplace or gig platform, rather than building the model itself
- Have seen their work acted on: a leader changed a plan, a team adopted your method, or engineers built what you asked for
- Can trace why drivers or couriers stop booking or cancel, and can read the experiments behind a pricing or incentive change, including when a clean test isn't possible
- Have been through real change, such as a pivot, fast growth or a new market, and rebuilt something because of it
- Are hands-on and fluent in SQL, with or without AI, and happy to build their own analysis apps, monitors and alerts
- Would rather ship a working answer this week than a perfect one next quarter
- No logistics experience needed, just the appetite to learn a physical operation fast
