Role Summary
HI, WE’RE BACK MARKET.
We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.
Yep, you read that right. Turns out refurbished tech is way better for the planet than new. In fact, With every device purchased on Back Market, our positive impact on the planet grows. From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.
As part of the Bureau of Technology, you’ll design, build, and scale AI-driven solutions to improve our marketplace. You’ll join the Pricing & Quality team (a mix of data scientists and backend engineers) focused on curating offers to give customers the best value for money.
Your focus: implement models and algorithms to optimize fees and pricing.
Responsibilities
- Drive pricing intelligence: design and implement Machine Learning models and optimization algorithms that directly fuel a comprehensive suite of pricing levers
- Own projects end to end: from problem definition and metrics design, through data extraction and model implementation, to presenting results to business and product stakeholders.
- Collaborate with data scientists and backend engineers to translate models into production-ready features
- Design and analyze experiments to measure the impact of fee strategies or model changes.
- Leverage statistical analyses to uncover actionable insights and inform critical tech, business and product decisions
- Communicate your work clearly to engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
About you
- At least 5 years of industry experience as a data scientist and Master’s (or PhD ) in a quantitative discipline such as Statistics, Economics or Engineering
- Impact-driven: You’ve contributed to data science projects that made a real impact on live, customer-facing products — not just in theory, but in production.
- Comfortable with ambiguity: you are able to make decisions and propose directions even when the problem is not fully defined or the data is imperfect
- Strong grasp of machine learning and statistical concepts and know how to choose the right model for the problem and make it work in a production environment.
- Practical expertise in experimentation design and analysis.
- Proficient in Python and SQL, and familiarity with software engineering principles around testing, code reviews, and deployment
- Clear communicator: You are comfortable explaining complex ideas and results to diverse audiences, including senior management.
- Experience in pricing, B2C marketplaces or revenue management is a strong plus.

About the Company
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Circularity Order Lifecycle squad.
We're the team behind Back Market's Trade-in program, the system that lets customers exchange their old devices for cash toward their next refurbished purchase. It's a win-win-win: customers get more purchasing power, refurbishers get quality supply, and the planet gets a break from unnecessary e-waste.
To achieve this, our team is made up of seven engineers, an engineering manager and a product manager collaborating closely with designers, data analysts, operations and business partners.
Join us and help build the features that make it easier for customers and refurbishers to complete successful trade-in journeys.
As a Software Engineer, you will work closely with all members of your squad, and the Staff engineer of your group. Bi-monthly rituals with your group and the Chapter will allow you to share what works for your squad, learn what works for others, and make sure your technical direction is aligned with the overall vision.
What you will do in this role
We’re looking for versatile engineers who show strong ownership and are motivated to take on new challenges across the technical stack while helping us move our technology forward.
You will be working in an agile "build it and run it" environment where engineering teams build, launch, monitor and support the product that they own.
