Job Description

DESCRIPTIONThe AOP (Analytics Operations and Programs) team is responsible for creating core analytics, insight generation and science capabilities for ROW Ops. We develop scalable analytics applications and research modeling to optimize operation processes. You will work with professional Product Managers, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Research Scientists, Applied Scientists and Business Intelligence Engineers using rigorous quantitative approaches to ensure high quality data/science products for our customers around the world.We are looking for an Applied Scientist to join our growing Science Team. As an Applied Scientist, you are able to use a range of science methodologies to solve challenging business problems when the solution is unclear. You will be responsible for building ML models to solve complex business problems and test them in production environment. The scope of role includes defining the charter for the project and proposing solutions which align with org's priorities and production constraints but still create impact. You will achieve this by leveraging strong leadership and communication skills, data science skills and by acquiring domain knowledge pertaining to the delivery operations systems. You will provide ML thought leadership to technical and business leaders, and possess ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges. You will also be expected to contribute to the science community by participating in science reviews and publishing in internal or external ML conferences.Our team solves a broad range of problems that can be scaled across ROW (Rest of the World including countries like India, Australia, Singapore, MENA and LATAM). Here is a glimpse of the problems that this team deals with on a regular basis:

• Using live package and truck signals to adjust truck capacities in real-time
• HOTW models for Last Mile Channel Allocation
• Using LLMs to automate analytical processes and insight generation
• Using ML to predict parameters which affect truck scheduling
• Working with global science teams to affect pricing models and Shipments Per Route for $MM savings
• Deep Learning models to classify addresses based on various attributes
