About the role
- This is the engine of a local marketplace: learning-to-rank and retrieval pipelines, matching and dispatch models, and the relevance and recommendation systems that move marketplace conversion.
Responsibilities
- Build search-ranking, marketplace-matching, and dispatch models for a two-sided local marketplace.
- Design and analyze experiments (A/B, switchback) to prove causal impact in a marketplace setting.
- You will build the algorithms that connect local consumers with the right businesses at the right moment - search ranking, two-sided marketplace matching, and dispatch optimization.
Requirements
- 4+ years as an ML Engineer / Applied Scientist on ranking, matching, dispatch, retrieval, or recommendation.
- Demonstrated marketplace-conversion impact (you can point to the lift and how you measured it).
- If you have owned ranking or matching models that improved conversion at a marketplace, this role is the heart of the product.
Nice to have
- Background at DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, Airbnb, Yelp, Nextdoor, Lyft, Amazon, or Faire.
- Relevance / matching work that connects consumers with local businesses (Yelp, Nextdoor).
- Didi / Meituan dispatch-and-matching experience, now US-based.
- Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
