Data ScientistData

A last-mile marketplace runs on decisions - which parcels? on which routes? delivered by which couriers? at what price? Thousands of them, made every single day. Good decisions have fast and meaningful impact across the entire Relay Network. We’re hiring for a Senior Data Scientist to build the intelligence that informs and defines how we make pricing decisions at Relay.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will work alongside Operational Research Scientists, Analysts, and Engineers in a collaborative squad focussed on developing the intelligence, strategy and technology to deliver 1000’s of daily pricing decisions.
