Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who possess strong analytical skills, experience in econometrics, and a proven track record in experimental design. Familiarity with network effects in marketplace dynamics is essential. You should also be adept at collaborating with cross-functional teams and providing standardized guidance on measurement methodologies.

About the job

We are on the lookout for a seasoned Economist to revolutionize the way we assess value within Bolt's vital two-sided marketplaces. This role will involve addressing intricate challenges such as network effects to enhance pricing strategies, optimize user matching, and manage commissions effectively. You will take complete charge of marketplace experimentation, ensuring robust test designs and spearheading research and development to create innovative methodologies for aligning business objectives and evaluating long-term outcomes.

With over 200 million users spanning over 50 countries, Bolt stands as one of the fastest-growing tech firms in Europe and Africa. The success of our mission is powered by our dedicated team. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcomed, regardless of race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or ability. Join us in our ultimate goal of transforming cities for people, not cars!

In this role, you will redefine and elevate our methodologies for measuring the impact of marketplace teams. Given the unique challenges of marketplace experimentation, characterized by customer interactions that create network effects, traditional A/B testing methods often fall short. While we currently utilize switchback testing, it has limitations like reduced statistical power and spillover effects, focusing primarily on short-term outcomes. Your contributions will significantly influence pivotal business decisions, including adjusting ride prices to balance supply and demand, effectively pairing riders with drivers, and establishing competitive delivery commissions.
