Job Description
Team
As the place where all real estate actors gather (home seekers, owners, intermediaries, etc…), the marketplace’s primary success factor is to provide the highest standards in terms of safety, truthfulness, relevance, efficiency and quality of the interactions between each of these actors. Many factors have an impact on the quality of the marketplace experience, the most prevalent is the users quality, seriousness, and engagement of the marketplace themselves, and the content and information (sale / rent listings, buyers projects descriptions, agencies presentations) they produce by the means of this use.
The Marketplace Design teams’ role is about designing and developing all curation, penalty/reward, gamification, rating, scoring, and matching mechanisms that ensure the engagement of our users is constantly pushed up, and the quality of our content is constantly improving. That’s what we call Marketplace Dynamics.
As all of these capabilities are heavily data-powered, the Marketplace Design teams are also responsible for Data Governance, Modeling, Quality and the Data Platform and key Data-sets management for all of AVIV. We call that Data Operations.
The composition and roles of Marketplace Dynamics
Together the teams make up around twelve people for now, including: an Agile Coach, Data & Backend Engineers, Data Scientists & Analysts, Devops Engineers, Enterprise & Solution Architects, Product Managers, QA Engineers.

With your team, you work on the quality of what’s on the shelves of our marketplace: the properties for sale or rent. You design data collection strategies and deliver enrichment, deduplication, visibility engine, and classified data quality capabilities to provide the highest possible trust and safety of experience for all actors, and power our real estate pricing and market prediction capabilities.
