Why project44?

At project44, we revolutionize supply chains with our High-Velocity Supply Chain Platform. As the connective tissue of the supply chain, project44 optimizes global product movement, delivering unparalleled resiliency, sustainability, and value for our customers. We operate the world's most trusted end-to-end visibility platform, tracking over 1 billion shipments annually for 1,300 leading brands across various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, retail, life sciences, food & beverage, and oil, chemical & gas. Our High-Velocity platform eliminates supply chain friction, enabling sophisticated inventory control, exceptional customer experience, and predictive analytics through machine learning and automation.

If you’re eager to be part of a winning team that works together to solve some of the most challenging supply chain challenges every day, let’s talk.

About Team:
Our Data Science team builds world class solutions to enable high velocity supply chain. We apply cutting edge ML and AI methodologies on the most comprehensive supply chain data in the world to solve key Supply chain planning and execution problems for our customers. Key problems we solve include predicting the route that a shipment might take, estimating the time a truck/train/ship might arrive at its destination, predicting exceptions to inventory/transport plans so customers can take mitigating action, and ultimately model the behavior of every “link” in the global supply “chain” to enable efficient planning of inventory movement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conceptualize, develop, and deploy machine learning models and pipelines that underpin our visibility, tracking, anomaly detection and arrival prediction systems.

• Implement advanced machine learning algorithms, such as Transformer-based models, reinforcement learning, ensemble learning, and agent-based systems to continually improve the performance of our AI systems.

• Lead the processing and analysis of large, complex datasets (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured), and use your findings to inform the development of our models.

• Work across the complete lifecycle of ML model development, including problem definition, data exploration, feature engineering, model training, validation, and deployment.

• Implement A/B testing and other statistical methods to validate the effectiveness of models. Ensure the integrity and robustness of ML solutions by developing automated testing and validation processes.

• Build data pipelines and integrate machine learning models into our products and services, while adhering to industry best practices for ML operations (MLOps).
• Clearly communicate the technical workings and benefits of ML models to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitating understanding and adoption.
  

Ideally, you'd have:

• A Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative field.

• Proven experience in building and deploying production-level machine learning models.

• Deep understanding and practical experience with NLP techniques and frameworks, including training and inference of large language models(LLMs) and GenAI.

• Deep understanding of any supply chain applications, reinforcement learning, and agent-based systems and experience in how to build them for large systems.

• Proficiency in Python and experience with ML libraries such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.

• Excellent skills in data processing (SQL, ETL, data warehousing) and experience working with large-scale data systems.

• Experience with machine learning model lifecycle management tools, and an understanding of MLOps principles and best practices.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms like GCP or Azure.

• Familiarity with the latest industry and academic trends in machine learning and AI, and the ability to apply this knowledge to practical projects.

• Good understanding of software development principles, data structures, and algorithms.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a strong capacity for logical thinking.

• The ability to work collaboratively in an extremely fast-paced, startup environment.

Additional Skills:

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

In-office Commitment: This position requires a commitment to contribute to our collaborative culture by working in-office three days weekly.
