Senior Data Scientist (Location Intelligence)

A hybrid work model requires at least 1 day a week at the office.

About the team

Welcome to the DEX Location Intelligence's Data Science team, where we pride ourselves on driving data-driven insights that propel the business forward. Our expertise spans across many areas of geospatial analysis like origin destination volume management (ODVM), wherein we utilize a mix of GIS spatial databases, advanced statistical software, BigQuery engine and Machine Learning (ML). Geospatial domain empowers us to discover hidden patterns and trends in spatial data, leading to optimization in route planning, asset allocation, and a superior understanding of our service areas.

Further, we delve into network planning applying strategic thinking and modeling techniques. This facilitates us in devising optimal routes for delivery and managing our distribution network. We also hold proficiency in delivery time prediction, leveraging predictive analytics and machine learning to the best of their capacity. Consequently, we transform large volumes of data into actionable insights that make a significant difference in our business operations and decision-making. 

You will be part of a team of data scientists and engineers, working closely with product, operations, and other engineering teams to build predictive models, optimize delivery flows, and ensure cost-effective parcel routing.

Join us on this exhilarating journey as we pave the way for a seamless exploration of the world of Allegro’s geospatial data.

In your daily work you will handle the following tasks:

• Data Management: Collaborating with engineers to foster the availability, integrity, accuracy, and reliability of data and pipelines.
