What is a Data Scientist at Seatgeek?
A Data Scientist at Seatgeek operates at the intersection of marketplace economics, predictive modeling, and user experience. As a live-entertainment transaction platform, Seatgeek relies heavily on data science to optimize its two-sided marketplace. This involves balancing the needs of everyday fans looking for tickets with the commercial goals of professional sellers, sports teams, and theater venues.
In this role, your work directly influences core product features, such as the proprietary Deal Score algorithm, dynamic pricing engines, fraud detection systems, and personalized recommendation models. The scale and velocity of ticket sales require data models that can process vast amounts of transactional and behavioral data in real time, making the technical challenges both complex and highly impactful.
Successfully stepping into this role means joining a team that values rigorous analytical thinking. You will not just build models; you will translate complex statistical outputs into strategic business decisions that shape how millions of users experience live events.
