As a member of the Pricing Team, you'll play a critical role in this platform, ensuring that buyers and sellers always see the best and latest prices for all products on the marketplace. First and foremost, this means building and maintaining GOAT's dynamic pricing algorithm, which uses product prices, inventory locations, fulfillment costs, and trade and tax regulations to compute a regional low price for every product. It also means building tooling to configure and test this algorithm, as well as owning the underlying pipeline that updates these prices in real-time and keeps them consistent across the platform (from checkout to product pages to search, etc.). And since Pricing plays at least some role in the display of almost everything with a dollar sign, you'll contribute heavily to shared features like checkout, offer settlement, tax remittance, accounting, and more.
