Brief info about Vinted

As our new Decision Scientist, you will become a part of the Buyer domain - a cross-functional product department with a mission to improve our user experience in various areas of funnel (e.g. catalogue, search, homepage, item page, listing upload form and etc.) and create the most efficient search and recommendation systems for the buyers by leveraging the content of our connected international markets.

Together with other colleagues you will drive and contribute to data initiatives and hypotheses testing within the specific product subdomain. You will help to identify the biggest opportunity areas for improving our buyer navigation and search experience and ways to measure the success of our new and existing channels, and also contribute to the experimentation processes within the subdomain. You will work closely with a Product Manager, Engineering Manager, Data/Decision Scientists and Front-end/Back-end Engineers in the subdomain team. You will help the team build the roadmap of product and data initiatives and present the data insights and results of analyses/ experiments to the wider audience. We’re looking for someone who likes to work in a fast-changing environment, is willing to pick up new contexts, and is passionate about the product we’re building together.
