Job description
We are seeking an experienced Economist to transform how we measure value across Bolt's critical two-sided marketplaces, tackling complex challenges like network effects to optimize pricing, matching, and commissions.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with marketplace teams across the company to optimize sensitivity and speed of their switchback tests
- Provide standardized guidance to teams on network effects and how to select the right measurement methods.
- Drive R&D to deepen our understanding of marketplace dynamics and implement new methods to measure long-term impact
- Deliver proof-of-concepts clear enough for engineers to platformise and scale company-wide
Requirements
- A strong background (PhD or equivalent experience) in the application of econometric or statistical theory to business or policy decisions
- Work well in highly collaborative environments to understand the context-specific challenges of teams and work with them to find and develop solutions
- Proven experience in applying causal inference methods to real product or policy decisions, with at least a theoretical understanding of two-sided marketplaces
- Comfort reading and implementing methods from research papers: you can go from a paper's mathematical notation to a working Python proof-of-concept
- Self-direction to define your own roadmap and drive it – you will have strong support and context along the way
- Experience with data science at scale using big data tools like Spark/Databricks
- Experience is great, but we really look for drive, intelligence, and integrity.
