Senior Machine Learning Scientist / Data Engineer - Logistics Algorithms (all genders)

Ort Germany - Berlin, Vertrag Full time, Job-Kategorie Applied Science  Research

ABOUT THE TEAM

As a Senior ML Scientist / Data Engineer, you will drive algorithmic research-driven software development in a logistics team. At the company, we process millions of customer orders every week and our systems make critical scheduling, planning, and routing decisions within our warehouses. Predictive warehousing allows us to preemptively take actions, which improve the warehouse efficiency by solving a stochastic optimization problem, at the crossroads of combinatorial optimization and data science. Our research pipeline enables fast incremental improvements which together with the scale of our decisions has a direct impact on the productivity of our warehouses.

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

At the company, our vision is to be inclusive by design. And this vision starts with our hiring - we do not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, personal expression, ethnicity, religious belief, or disability status.
