We're transforming the grocery industry
At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should

varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on
to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings
opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.
Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help
push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join

your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular
in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.Overview
Instacart’s Catalog Operations team powers the data that makes shopping effortless. Catalog
data represents the vast majority of what customers see when they browse, search, and buy. Our
quality, coverage, and accuracy directly shape the customer experience. We are an AI-first
operations team that builds LLM-driven pipelines and scalable quality programs to create,
enrich, and govern product data across the Instacart ecosystem.
We’re looking for a Catalog Operations Analyst II to accelerate our Health and Meals pillar
within Online Grocery, one of our top strategic priorities. In this role, you will drive
end-to-end data quality and enrichment for health, nutrition, and meal-related attributes,
partnering closely with Catalog Engineering, Data Science, Product, and ML, as well as external
data providers and BPOs. You’ll join a tight-knit team of 8 who roll up their sleeves, solve
creatively, and deliver measurable impact at scale.
This role is based in Canada and is remote-eligible nationwide, with a preference for
candidates located in Ontario (ideally Greater Toronto Area) for periodic in-person
collaboration.
About the Job

Own data quality outcomes for the Health and Meals pillar by defining accuracy and coverage
goals for critical attributes (e.g., nutrition, dietary tags, allergens, preparation/meal
context) and driving measurable improvements across the catalog.
Design, test, and operationalize LLM pipelines in partnership with Catalog Engineering and ML,
including prompt iterations, evaluation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop QA.
Develop robust SQL analyses to monitor health of the catalog, identify root causes, prioritize
fixes, and communicate performance and impact to cross-functional stakeholders.
Establish and continuously refine taxonomies, attribute definitions, and normalization
standards; author SOPs and quality guidelines that scale across internal teams, external
content providers, and BPOs.
Manage day-to-day execution with external vendors and data partners (e.g. BPOs), setting SLAs,
creating QA workflows, and implementing sampling plans that improve precision and recall at
scale.
Partner with Product, DS, and XFN teams to scope experiments, validate assumptions, and
translate insights into roadmaps that elevate discovery, search relevance, and conversion for
health and meal oriented use cases.

This is a fast-paced, evolving environment. You’ll thrive if you enjoy ambiguity, take
ownership from problem definition through execution, and communicate clearly to align diverse
partners on outcomes.
