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 what Marketplace changes 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.
