  • First-Principles Problem Solving: Proven track record to take ambiguous, complex marketplace challenges, break them down into mutually exclusive hypotheses, and design rigorous testing frameworks.
  • Bachelor's degree in Economics, Finance, Engineering, Business, or a related quantitative field.


Preferred Qualifications:
  • MBA or advanced degree from a top-tier business school.
  • Experience with marketplace monetization mechanics and margin structures (e.g., revenue take rates, value-added fees, payments, loss rates, incentives).
