Job Description

Looking for a company that inspires passion, courage and creativity, where you can be on the team shaping the future of global commerce? Want to shape how millions of people buy, sell, connect, and share around the world? If you’re interested in joining a purpose driven community that is dedicated to crafting an ambitious and inclusive work environment, join eBay – a company you can be proud to be with.

Team Overview:

The Shipping Science team develops the underlying models that drive delivery estimates and packaging optimizations for eBay globally. Join a full-stack team that takes full ownership not only of developing robust models, but owning the pipeline and managing the technology stack that allows eBay to scale our inference engine at web-scale. We collaborate with other researchers, engineers, and product teams to develop improvements to our shipping and trust platforms that drive efficiency and user experience for buyers and sellers. While our close work with product and engineering drives our results-oriented culture, learning and experimentation are keys to ensuring we develop the best solutions possible.

Team Role:

As a part of the broader Shipping and Member Communications organization at eBay, this role will help develop content moderation models to improve the safety and quality of communications for our sellers and buyers. We are looking for stellar applied researchers to join us and build the next generation of member communication models. If you enjoy the scale and technical complexity of identifying message and entity intent (driven by categorization, the definitions and application of knowledge graph and GNNs, to name a few) and want to be at the frontier of applied research in e-commerce, join now.

  • Build machine learning models and data pipelines to deliver insightful yet practical solutions across web-scale data
