position is for you!

researchers, analysts, and developers to find opportunities to service our
customers better through improved search. Working with domain experts in
information retrieval, machine learning, data mining, and user behavior
analysis, you will bring innovative ideas to bear on a massive scale to improve
the areas you identify. As a Product manager, you will be supporting and
coordinating these activities with our business partners and other teams within
eBay and evaluating their success in the eBay marketplace. You will be
responsible for the vision, roadmap, and execution of a substantial area within
the general domain 
of search relevance. You will coordinate extensively with the development, QA,
and operations, and business teams to accomplish these objectives.
