Fast-moving, data-driven and constantly evolving, it’s where we test, learn and grow the business across the region.

Scope & responsibilities

• Design, build and operate scalable backend services and APIs for pricing, promotions, catalogue and other commercial workflows across retail and marketplace

• Build reliable batch and real-time data pipelines that feed commercial decisions

• Build systems for retail operations: buying and merchandising tools, replenishment and inventory planning, and supplier cost and margin management

• Turn ambiguous commercial problems (margin leakage, stock-outs, promo ROI) into well-scoped technical solutions with clear success metrics

• Build internal tools and dashboards that let category, pricing and marketing teams act on data themselves

• Own quality in production: testing, observability, performance and incident response

• Partner with category, buying, pricing and marketing leaders to build tools and systems they actually use

Key responsibilities by focus area: Expect to work on some mix of these, prioritised by business impact.

• Pricing and competitiveness: Build the pricing engine and rules service with category guardrails for retail and marketplace, and real-time repricing pipelines, with ML elasticity models plugged in where they help, driving margin, price index and conversion

• Promotions and discounts: Build a promotion platform with eligibility and budget controls, plus experimentation to measure uplift, improving promo ROI and incremental GMV

• Retail replenishment and inventory planning: Build services that turn demand signals into reorder recommendations and stock-out and overstock alerts, including forecasting models, improving in-stock rate and reducing overstock.

• Retail buying, merchandising and supplier management: Build tools for buyers and merchandisers covering supplier cost and margin tracking, range planning, and price and promo funding workflows, improving gross margin and sell-through

• Assortment and catalogue: Build tooling and data pipelines that find missing high-demand products and underperforming listings, improving selection coverage and GMV

• Seller and marketplace quality: Build seller performance scoring and detection of fraud and abnormal pricing, protecting seller health and customer trust

• Commercial data and experimentation platform: Build reliable, well-modelled datasets, A/B testing tooling and self-serve dashboards for retail and marketplace teams, speeding up decisions and improving data trust

Who’ll Excel?

• We're looking for people with high standards, who understand that hard work matters.
• You need to be relentlessly resourceful and operate with a deep bias for action.
• We need people with the courage to be fiercely original.
• noon is not for everyone; readiness to adapt, pivot, and learn is essential.
