In the Mercari marketplace, over one million items are listed every day. However, if the data such as categories, brands, product attributes, and catalogs (hereinafter referred to as product data) is not properly structured, customers will not be able to find what they want, and sellers will not be able to deliver at the right price. The Product Data Foundation team is the team that tackles the core of this challenge. We are responsible for defining, acquiring, and building data, and consistently providing it to each business division that is responsible for delivering product value for specific functions and customer experiences such as search, recommendations, listings, and pricing proposals.

You will determine "which category, which attributes, and at what granularity and quality should be aligned to enhance customer experience and GMV" by discussing with each business division that utilizes the data, and you will actually build the data using AI and Operators. We are currently in a phase of expanding our team from two members to five and broadening the scope of categories and automation.
