Project

You will join a large-scale production search project combining traditional lexical search (Solr/Lucene) with semantic search and machine learning-based ranking. Working alongside experienced statisticians and search/ML engineers, you will help analyse ranking performance, evaluate experiments, identify statistical biases, and understand the impact of changes on search relevance and user behaviour.

The role offers an opportunity to apply academic knowledge of statistics, experimental design, and causal inference to real-world production data, while developing practical skills under the guidance of senior team members.

Responsibilities you’ll have

• Support the design and analysis of experiments (A/B testing, interleaving) to evaluate search ranking and relevance changes.
• Assist in applying causal inference methods to observational search and user engagement data.
• Help identify confounding factors, selection bias, seasonality, and novelty effects in experimental results.
• Perform statistical analyses of experiment and search log data, including hypothesis testing, regression, and variance estimation.
• Contribute to offline evaluation activities, including click models, exposure models, and position-bias correction.
• Document analytical findings, assumptions, and statistical limitations.
• Communicate results clearly to engineering and product teams.
• Learn and apply experimentation methodologies and statistical validation practices under the guidance of senior team members.

Expected competences and knowledge

• Degree (BS/MS) in Statistics, Biostatistics, Econometrics, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
• Good understanding of statistical fundamentals, including hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and variance estimation.
• Academic knowledge of causal inference and experimental design, including potential outcomes and Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs).
• Understanding of bias and confounding in observational data.
• Basic experience with Python or R for statistical analysis and data exploration.
• Ability to analyse real-world datasets and interpret statistical results.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to document findings, explain statistical concepts, and communicate analytical results clearly.
• Eagerness to learn, receive feedback, and develop statistical expertise in a collaborative environment.

Additional advantages

• Academic projects, internships, or research involving A/B testing, experimentation, or causal analysis.

• Familiarity with search and recommendation systems and ranking metrics such as NDCG and MRR.

• Knowledge of click models, exposure models, and position bias.

• Exposure to causal inference tools such as DoWhy, EconML, or CausalImpact.

• Previous internship or part-time experience in search, recommendation, or marketplace environments.
