What the job involves

- You’ll be directly embedded in a team of talented software and data engineers and partner closely with leaders in Operations, Finance, and Product to translate their business challenges into scalable forecasting solutions. You will be responsible for operationalizing the models you build in the production systems that drive Veho's growth and efficiency
- Create the forecasting algorithms that drive our Sales &Operations Planning process
- Building reliable, efficient, and scalable models for our AI/ML capabilities
- Creating robust data pipelines to feed analyses and models
- Analyze and evaluate the impact and effectiveness of models in production systems

- Mentor other Data Scientists and drive team-wide improvements to our data science practices
Our take
Over 2 million online merchant ship over 165 billion packages to doorsteps across the United States every year. Every one of those deliveries represents a potential difference between happy customers willing to purchase again and refer friends, and a WISMO ("where is my order?!") catastrophe.
Veho is seeking to turn those deliveries from a risk into an opportunity for online brands. The next-day delivery platform leverages a gig economy workforce and its modern communication platform to create a greatly improved last-mile logistics experience for brands and their customers.
Now that the company has been able to build out an impressive technology platform - think optimized routes and driver-customer communication channels - it is now seeking major geographic expansion.
The company is facing competition from both traditional delivery companies like FedEx as well as newer venture-backed attempts to disrupt the space like Deliverr. However, its already impressive economies of scale and customer experience means it is well positioned to dominate the market in the coming years.
