Job description

At Neighbor, we’re building the largest hyperlocal marketplace the world has ever seen. We’ve raised over $75 million from top-tier investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and the CEOs of DoorDash, StockX, and Uber. Our marketplace is already flourishing in all 50 states and we’re just getting started!

We're excited to add a Data Scientist Intern to our Data & Analytics team. You'll work on the machine learning models we already run in production, including lifetime value, unit economics, and forecasting, making them more accurate and showing with evidence that they've improved. You'll also help Product, Marketing, and Sales divisions design A/B tests and interpret the results. Your work feeds directly into decisions across a marketplace that operates in nearly every U.S. city. This is a great fit for a PhD student who wants to apply their research skills to live business problems. You'll report to our Data & Analytics manager, with regular code review and hands-on mentorship.

Our stack: Python, dbt, and Dagster on Redshift and Athena, with a Cube semantic layer and Superset for BI.
