Design, develop, and productionize dynamic, real-time pricing policies for a bid-based marketplace. Model supply/demand, optimize under uncertainty and delayed feedback, run A/B tests, deploy scalable ML solutions, and monitor system stability and long-term effects.
We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist (Pricing) to design and evolve dynamic pricing systems for our marketplace. You will develop pricing as a feedback-driven decision system, balancing supply, demand, and business outcomes under uncertainty and delayed signals. Unlike traditional surge-based pricing, our marketplace operates on a unique bid-based pricing model, where prices are shaped through direct negotiation between riders and drivers. This creates a fundamentally different optimization problem, requiring advanced approaches to modeling user behavior, incentives, and marketplace dynamics.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and improve dynamic pricing policies, including elasticity and supply/demand response modeling
- Frame pricing as a decision system under uncertainty and delayed feedback
- Develop, test, and deploy real-time pricing algorithms
- Design and analyze A/B experiments to evaluate pricing impact
- Productionize models in collaboration with engineering, ensuring scalability and robustness
- Monitor system performance, including stability, feedback effects, and long-term behavior
- Contribute to methodological choices (e.g., optimization, control, RL-inspired approaches)
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- 3+ years of experience in Data Science, Applied Research, or algorithmic product optimization, preferably in marketplaces or pricing systems
- Strong background in statistics, optimization, and causal inference
- Proven ability to move from problem formulation to production-grade solutions
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, and experience with production ML systems
Nice to Have
- Experience with economic modeling (elasticity, auctions, policy design)
- Familiarity with control systems, RL, or online optimization
- Experience working with real-time, high-load systems

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
