Please do not contact the recruiter directly.

At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader - we're changing the way the world shops and sells.

We're committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.

Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work - every day.

We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.

Who Are We?

Looking for a company that inspires passion, courage and imagination, where you can be part of the team shaping the future of global commerce?

Want to shape how millions of people buy, sell, connect, and share around the world?

If you're interested in joining a purpose driven community that is dedicated to creating an ambitious and inclusive workplace, join eBay - a company you can be proud to be a part of.
The Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Landing Page teams define and build features that optimize the way customers browse our inventory and help them easily find and reach relevant eBay pages when searching on search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.

With literally hundreds of millions of products listed on eBay globally at any time, the scale at which eBay has to consider search engine optimization puts our team in a unique position to innovate and provide immediate value to the business.
The SEO Landing Page Platform holds the buyer intent data definition for our category and model landing pages.

These pages serve as important destinations for buyers who come from search engines like Google as well as those who are browsing the eBay site.

The Linking Services connect those pages and enable them to show up in navigational elements like the breadcrumb and category navigation.

The operational tools provide the interface for manual intervention and eventual automation of those operational tasks.
