Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist (Pricing) to design and evolve dynamic pricing systems for our marketplace. You will develop pricing as a feedback-driven decision system, balancing supply, demand, and business outcomes under uncertainty and delayed signals. Unlike traditional surge-based pricing, our marketplace operates on a unique bid-based pricing model, where prices are shaped through direct negotiation between riders and drivers. This creates a fundamentally different optimization problem, requiring advanced approaches to modeling user behavior, incentives, and marketplace dynamics.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and improve dynamic pricing policies, including elasticity and supply/demand response modeling
  • Frame pricing as a decision system under uncertainty and delayed feedback
  • Develop, test, and deploy real-time pricing algorithms
  • Design and analyze A/B experiments to evaluate pricing impact
  • Productionize models in collaboration with engineering, ensuring scalability and robustness
  • Monitor system performance, including stability, feedback effects, and long-term behavior
  • Contribute to methodological choices (e.g., optimization, control, RL-inspired approaches)

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

  • 3+ years of experience in Data Science, Applied Research, or algorithmic product optimization, preferably in marketplaces or pricing systems
  • Strong background in statistics, optimization, and causal inference
  • Proven ability to move from problem formulation to production-grade solutions
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and experience with production ML systems
Nice to Have
  • Experience with economic modeling (elasticity, auctions, policy design)
  • Familiarity with control systems, RL, or online optimization
  • Experience working with real-time, high-load systems

Conditions

  • Stable salary, official employment
  • Remote work mode and flexible schedule
  • Access to professional counseling services, including psychological, financial, and legal support
  • Diverse internal training programs
  • Partially or fully paid additional training courses
  • All necessary work equipment

inDrive began as a grassroots response to injustice. On New Year's Eve 2012 in Yakutsk, Russia - the coldest city in the world - temperatures dropped to -45°C (-49°F). Local taxi companies colluded to dramatically increase their prices, leaving many locals stranded in the dead of winter. Outraged residents came together on social media to find and offer rides at fair prices. What started as a community-driven solution eventually became the inDrive app, founded by Arsen Tomsky.

Today, inDrive has grown beyond ride-hailing into a global mobility and urban services platform operating in over 1,065 cities across 48 countries. The company offers fair services including city rides, intercity transportation, delivery, freight, and lending solutions. inDrive's peer-to-peer platform is committed to delivering essential services that meet fundamental life needs and empower individuals with core values grounded in fair business practices. The company became a unicorn in 2021 and was the second most downloaded ride-hailing app worldwide in both 2022 and 2023. inDrive also runs seven non-profit programs supporting education, sports, and arts in communities where they operate. The company employs more than 3,000 people globally and continues to challenge injustice by empowering people through fair-pay income opportunities and increasing social mobility in developing, underserved communities.
