The Focus Category Analytics team at eBay is seeking a Passionate Data Scientist to support and lead analytical, AI, and intelligent platform initiatives. This role is centered on advancing product discovery, measurement, testing, and predictive modeling to enhance business growth, as well as conducting custom analytics to uncover actionable insights that drive success for our business partners. You'll also contribute directly bridging the gap between eBay's data warehouse and AI-powered decision-making tools used across the company.
You'll help motivate change and improve decision-making through data-driven analyses, deep business understanding, rigorous truth-seeking, and impactful insights. In this highly visible and cross-functional role, you'll collaborate with product and business leaders, as well as teams across the company, to evaluate existing programs, develop new analytical solutions, and identify innovative growth opportunities. You'll be surrounded by a diverse, intellectually curious, and fast-moving team of professionals passionate about making an impact at scale.
The role spans both analytical depth (custom insights, trend analysis) and ML engineering (model building, deployment).
- Partner with product, business, and analytics stakeholders to understand key initiatives and deliver insights that influence strategic decisions.
- Design, build, and scale eBay's internal AI analytics platform — including NL-to-SQL pipelines, domain knowledge bases, query validation layers, and auto-refreshing dashboard infrastructure.
- Drive the development and implementation of predictive models and advanced analytics to improve targeting and measurement across eBay's Focus Category domains.
- Develop and execute experiments and tests to measure business impact and identify new opportunities for growth.
- Architect and maintain AI deployment pipelines — taking LLM-powered features from prototype to production, including prompt engineering, context management, tool orchestration, and response reliability at scale.
- Communicate analytical results clearly, translating complex data findings into actionable recommendations for senior leadership.
- Serve as a trusted data expert, integrating diverse data sources to uncover trends and patterns that inform business strategy.
- Build interactive, data-rich dashboards and front-end experiences using JavaScript and modern charting libraries (ECharts, Plotly) that make complex data accessible to non-technical users.
- Contribute to a culture of data excellence and continuous learning within the Decision Sciences team.
