About the Team Our team is responsible for showing buyers in our international markets relevant inventory based on their location and language. We're a multi-functional group of engineers, designers, data scientists, researchers and product managers. Here's a taste of the problems we're solving: How can we use the latest in machine learning and information retrieval to improve our international search... ranking pipelines? How can we use past buyer behavior or nuances in different languages to match search results that more accurately reflect a user's intent? How can we show more local onsite ads to international buyers within our ad model bidding constraints? How can we improve search results when buyer and seller languages don't match? With your expertise, we will build products spanning machine learning, NLP, machine translation, and backend web development. We launch our projects as A/B experiments and are always looking for faster ways to measure value.
