About the role
The Instacart Catalog team is the product data infrastructure powering everything customers see, find, and trust across the marketplace. We ingest data from retailers and third-party sources and use AI/ML and human operations to validate, enrich, and publish product information at scale. At the heart of this infrastructure are product attributes — the structured descriptors that power search filters, item card badges, dietary safety signals, health personalization, brand advertising, and agentic commerce.
What they're looking for
- Proven ability to set strategy, prioritize ruthlessly, and deliver high-quality outcomes in fast-paced, dynamic environments — including building governance structures and quality systems, not just shipping features
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of building trust and alignment across high-stakeholder-count environments where no single team controls all the inputs
- Experience in marketplaces, logistics, e-commerce, or consumer technology, with familiarity balancing multi-sided incentives
- Hands-on experience with experimentation and analytics — including A/B testing, SQL, and dashboards — and the ability to partner deeply with Engineering and Data teams
- Experience with product attribute systems, catalog data, content management, or source prioritization at marketplace scale
- Familiarity with data pipelines, ML extraction workflows, or quality evaluation frameworks such as golden set audits, human-in-the-loop review, or precision/recall measurement
