Data Analyst: Personalization (Remote)

Role Overview

The Personalization team, within the Machine Learning Chapter and Engineering Department, plays a central role in implementing algorithms that utilize personalization signals to optimize for business KPIs like revenue & conversions. We focus on metrics, arming our search and product discovery products with powerful personalization capabilities that enhance the shopping experience for millions of users and bring value to customers in the way they care the most about.

Your work will help shape innovative user experiences that drive business KPIs, interpret user behavior, and drive product and algorithm improvements.

As the first dedicated Data Analyst on the Personalization team, you will be pivotal in establishing the analytical foundations, tools, and processes for measuring the impact of our ML models and product features. You'll collaborate closely with engineers (who develop the platform and improve ML algorithms) and product managers to define success, uncover insights, and influence roadmap decisions through data.

About Us
Constructor is the next-generation platform for search and discovery in ecommerce, built to explicitly optimize for metrics like revenue, conversion rate, and profit. Our search engine is entirely invented in-house utilizing transformers and generative LLMs, and we use its core and personalization capabilities to power everything from search itself to recommendations to shopping agents. Engineering is by far our largest department, and we’ve built our proprietary engine to be the best on the market, having never lost an A/B test to a competitive technology. We’re passionate about maintaining this and work on the bleeding edge of AI to do so.

Out of necessity, our engine is built for extreme scale and powers over 1 billion queries every day across 150 languages and roughly 100 countries. It is used by some of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world like Sephora, Under Armour, and Petco.

We’re a passionate team who love solving problems and want to make our customers’ and coworkers’ lives better. We value empathy, openness, curiosity, continuous improvement, and are excited by metrics that matter. We believe that empowering everyone in a company to do what they do best can lead to great things.

Constructor is a U.S. based company that has been in the market since 2019. It was founded by Eli Finkelshteyn and Dan McCormick who still lead the company today.
