Senior Product Analyst – Matching
Summary
Senior Product Analyst at inDrive in Limassol owning the analytics for the ride-hailing marketplace's bid-based matching systems: defining matching-quality metrics, running A/B experiments and causal inference studies, and partnering with Data Science and Engineering to improve matching and ranking algorithms. Core stack: SQL, Python, experimentation, statistics.
Unlike traditional dispatch-based matching, our marketplace operates on a unique bid-based model, where rider–driver connections are shaped through direct negotiation. This creates a fundamentally different analytical problem, requiring rigorous approaches to measuring user behavior, response dynamics, and marketplace incentives.
- Define and evolve the metrics framework for matching quality, marketplace balance, and efficiency
- Design, run, and analyze A/B experiments to evaluate the impact of matching and ranking changes on marketplace efficiency and user experience
- Apply causal inference to isolate the effect of matching decisions on supply, demand, and user response
- Analyze and model user behavior and response dynamics in a bid-based marketplace
- Translate analysis into clear, actionable recommendations that inform matching and ranking algorithm design
- Monitor marketplace health — balance, feedback effects, and long-term matching quality — surfacing risks and opportunities early
- Partner with Data Science and Engineering to shape algorithmic improvements and validate their impact in production
- Build dashboards and analytical tooling that make matching performance observable and understandable across teams
- 3+ years in product analytics, marketplace analytics, data science, or algorithmic product optimization, preferably in marketplaces or matching/dispatch systems
- Strong background in probability theory, mathematical statistics, experimentation (A/B testing), and causal inference
- Solid understanding of marketplace dynamics (supply/demand balance, matching/dispatch)
- Ability to move from an ambiguous problem to measurable hypotheses and clear, decision-ready recommendations
- Proficiency in SQL and Python for analysis
Nice to Have
