Analytics Developer for the Pricing Team at Lavka

Our team is responsible for the economics of Yandex Lavka: we determine how prices and discounts are formed to maintain a balance between the interests of users, partners, and the business. We build demand models, optimize pricing algorithms, test hypotheses, seek optimal trade-offs between profit and growth, research network effects, and study customer behavioral patterns.

If you are interested in working in a place where analytics directly impacts millions of orders and real business results, this is the place for you.

What tasks await you

Developing Pricing Algorithms We are developing the system that manages prices and discounts at Lavka — from regular prices to promotions and experiments. You will build economic models based on Lavka data, analyze demand elasticity, seek optimal trade-offs between profit and growth, and research customer behavioral patterns.

Experiment Analysis and Identifying Growth Points You will launch A/B tests with non-trivial network effects and apply modern statistical methods in practice: stratification, CUPED, switchback experiments, and others. Your decisions will directly impact key business metrics and quickly reflect on the service's results.
