Who We Are: 

KeepTruckin is on a mission to modernize the trucking industry. With the leading fleet management platform, we are bringing trucks online and fundamentally changing the way freight is moved on our roads. 

We see our hard work rewarded in tangible ways every day and we believe that intelligence is most powerful when paired with humility. We’re motivated by the opportunity to impact and improve every facet of a trillion-dollar industry that touches everyone’s lives. KeepTruckin is proud to be a Forbes Cloud 100 company and a 2020 Career-Launching Company by Wealthfront. 

About the Role: 

The charter of the Data Science team at KeepTruckin is to leverage best-in-class data to build amazing, novel products for our customers. Past examples include Facility Insights (24/7 predictions of wait times at hundreds of thousands of warehouses) and the DRIVE safety model (industry-defining forecast of driver accident risk). Put simply-- your job is to build models that will surprise and delight our users.
As a Senior member of the Data Science team, you'll lead a major new product initiative end to end. We will count on you to find and leverage structure in our high dimensional spatiotemporal datasets. You'll work with product and engineering teams to build and deploy the right model.

What You’ll Do: 

- Frame customer problems as models; develop practical approaches to estimation and deployment
- Iterate and test models to ensure our customer experience is top notch
- Think hard about measurement. Metric definitions matter a lot
- Present and explain your work so that the entire company can talk about it. Work cross-functionally to make sure that it gets utilized correctly
 

What We’re Looking For: 

- 4+ years as a full-time data scientist (or PhD plus 2 years)
- Experience in recommender or ranking systems
- Strong communicator
- Python expertise, bonus if you've used PySpark
- Transportation/logistics industry experience a plus
