• You help design and optimize notification pipelines (app push, e-mail, etc.) to make sure messages are timely, relevant, and valuable to users.
• You improve our price-based features (e.g., price history, alerts, and insights) by enhancing performance, data quality, and user experience.
• You collaborate closely with Product, Data, App, and Web teams, conduct experiments/ A-B tests, and use data to make informed decisions that improve user engagement.
• You contribute to our architecture, observability (monitoring and alerting), and CI/CD setup, with services running on AWS in a continuous delivery environment.

• Familiarity with data modeling for time series or historical datasets, and experience with both document-oriented and relational databases.
• Nice to have: Experience with web/app feature integrations (wishlist, price alerts), experimentation/ A-B testing, or serverless architectures.
