The candidate must have a master or PhD degree in a relevant field, experience coding in Python or R, knowledge of data science libraries and ML tools, and expertise in experimental design, exploratory data analysis, and optimization/statistical modeling. Bonus points for experience in marketplace design and transportation.

The Data Science Intern will collaborate with cross-functional teams to frame and solve problems, analyze data, write production modeling code, run traffic experiments, and communicate findings to facilitate launch decisions.
