Your contributions will unlock new revenue streams, optimise vendor monetisation, and guide data-driven decision-making – having a decisive impact on our global bottom-line. Furthermore, you will support our restaurant partners to provide affordable meals to more than 10 million people every day across 60+ countries.

What you’ll do

• Lead the development of econometric and machine learning models to optimise take rate, pricing strategies, and vendor monetisation, working alongside top commercial leaders and technical experts.
• Design, run, analyse, and improve experiments and A/B tests to validate your hypotheses in real-world settings.
• Present research and recommendations to senior executives, shaping company-wide strategy to enable our 1m+ restaurant partners across the globe to grow while monetizing our services sustainably.
• Partner closely with the Commercial, Product, and Data Engineering teams to embed advanced modelling and experimental insights into pricing, incentive, and vendor engagement decisions, while regularly delivering recommendations and insights to senior business leaders.
• Join a team with a proven track record in scaling billion-dollar tech business from scratch.

What you need to be successful

We’re looking for a scientifically rigorous, yet strongly pragmatic and commercially-minded data scientist who thrives on complexity, impact, and autonomy. If you are a go-getter who is excited about high-performance environments and combines intellectual sharpness, strong commercial acumen, and a positive attitude, we would be excited to get to know you.

• Experience with marketplace pricing dynamics, multi-modal optimisation, and revenue forecasting models, plus deep understanding of economic concepts such as price elasticity, contribution margins, ROI metrics, rebate mechanics, and segmentation analyses
• You're a fast learner, critical thinker, and creative problem solver who strives for excellence - and you’re hungry to take on complex, ambiguous challenges
• Willingness to take responsibility on high-stakes, company-defining projects with substantial financial impact and eagerness to deliver clear recommendations to top management
• Passion for data, with creative problem-solving abilities and an eye for detail
• Proficiency in Python and/or R, and SQL (preferably with BigQuery), with experience in statistical modelling and data visualisation (Tableau or similar) with continuous iteration
