OUR TEAM
We believe that data is the voice of the
customer. Through customer research and continuous experimentation, we
make sure the customer is involved in building the best classifieds
experience in the world. We’ve organized around the key stages of the
customer, where every journey team is a matrix team consisting of
product managers, business owners, UX designers, developers and
marketers.
You will be part of a new Growth Team for our Global
Buy/Sell Marketplace. This is a fast-paced team that will be responsible
for optimizing the customer funnel – acquisition, activation, and
retention growth rates. The individuals on this team are highly
motivated to create new channels and optimize features that drive (new
and existing) user activation and engagement with our marketplace. The
team’s core capability is data-driven rapid experimentation to identify
winners that increase our buyer and seller vibrancy.
YOUR ROLE
As
a Front-end Developer, you will work closely with product, marketing,
design, and data analysts, to help grow an active user base. You will
help guide new auto buyers through our funnel (from acquisition,
onboarding, activation, and ultimately connecting to sellers), and also
help make sure these users stick around.
You enjoy experimentation
and leveraging data as a great tool to learn, grow, and guide
understanding, also knowing it is not the be-all-end-all. You focus on
implementing fast, not perfect code, and iterating along the way. This
