О компании

Яндекс Такси (Yandex Go) — крупнейший ride-hailing в России и СНГ. Two-sided: users + drivers. Complex: supply / demand dynamics, pricing, logistics.

Analytics команды — разные: pricing, driver, product, growth, marketing.

Процесс

Типичный Yandex-style:

  1. HR screening
  2. Technical (SQL + stats)
  3. Product / case
  4. Behavioral
  5. Final с team lead

2-4 недели process.

Стек

  • SQL: ClickHouse heavy, YT, PostgreSQL
  • Python: pandas, sklearn
  • BI: DataLens, internal tools
  • Big data: YT (Yandex's Hadoop-equivalent)

SQL раунд

Yandex — сильные SQL. Ожидайте:

  • Advanced window functions
  • Optimization tasks
  • Complex JOINs
  • Array / JSON в ClickHouse

Example

«Для каждого водителя — middle response time на запрос, отсортировать top-10 slowest».

SELECT
    driver_id,
    AVG(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (accepted_at - requested_at))) AS avg_response_sec
FROM ride_requests
WHERE accepted_at IS NOT NULL
    AND requested_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY
GROUP BY driver_id
ORDER BY avg_response_sec DESC
LIMIT 10;

Product / case

Two-sided problems

«Surge pricing — ok или нет?»

Trade-offs:

  • Higher supply attraction (drivers)
  • Lower demand (users may cancel)
  • Revenue optimization
  • User satisfaction

Discuss framework.

Typical cases

  • «Cancellations grew 20%. Why?»
  • «Launched в new city — metric success?»
  • «Price change impact — measure?»
  • «Driver churn causes»

Marketplace thinking

  • Liquidity: matches happen fast
  • Supply/demand: balance
  • Network effects: more drivers → less wait → more users → more drivers

Знайте dynamics.

Metrics

Specific к ride-hailing:

  • Matches per request
  • ETA (estimated time to arrival)
  • Cancellation rate (user, driver)
  • Driver utilization (% time busy)
  • Revenue per ride
  • Commission take
  • Driver acquisition cost
  • User CR (open app → ride)

Geo aspects

Geographic analysis essential:

  • Heat maps demand
  • Supply gaps
  • Route efficiency
  • City-level comparisons

Pricing

  • Dynamic surge
  • Base fare
  • Per-minute / per-km
  • Peak pricing

Model / simulate price changes.

Driver перspective

  • Earnings stability
  • Acceptance rates
  • Cancellation policies
  • Promotions effectiveness

На собесе распространённый question

«A/B test в ride-hailing tricky. Почему?»

Answer: network effects. Treatment driver's improved matching affects nearby control drivers (less supply for them).

Solutions: geo-cluster randomization, switchback.

Private trends

Growth areas:

  • Grocery delivery integration
  • Subscriptions (Plus)
  • Business accounts
  • International expansion (ex-CIS)
