Data Engineer: Merchant Intelligence Agent

About Us

Launched in 2019, Constructor is an AI-first e-commerce search and discovery platform that helps shoppers find the right products at the right time and enables leading global e-commerce brands to drive meaningful revenue and conversion gains.

About the Team

We build the AI agent that helps merchandisers, product managers, and executives grow their e-commerce business: it finds opportunities in their data, tailors insights to each person's role, and takes routine work off their plate by delivering answers where they already work. We are transforming how digital merchandising teams work: instead of digging through reports and configuring rules by hand, they ask in plain language, get answers grounded in their own data, and approve the changes the agent prepares. Customers already rely on the agent to save time and make better decisions.

We own the agent end to end, from the first question a merchant asks to the answer they act on. We also own the analytics behind it: the pipelines and cubes for search, browse, and recommendation performance, and the metric definitions merchants rely on.

That is why we build the agent and the Customer Dashboard as a platform that every Constructor team extends. We create the foundation that other teams build on: the agent framework, shared components, and infrastructure. On top of it, teams add their own data, tools, and skills, so the agent can answer questions in their domain and the dashboard can show their features without separate interfaces. Each new capability gives merchants more ways to grow their business.

• Build and own the batch pipelines and cubes behind dashboard analytics and agent insights

• Model shopper, trend, and benchmark data so the agent can find opportunities across the shopping journey

• Own data quality and trust: freshness, monitoring, alerting, and metric definitions

• Work with engineers, analysts, and product to find the data the agent is missing and turn merchant questions into data products

• Ship your data into the product: simple analytics UIs, and the agent skills, tools, and prompts that use it
