Data Scientist - Logistics AI & ML

About the project

Welcome to the Delivery Experience (DEX) Data Science team, where we pride ourselves on developing data-driven products that propel the business and logistics of Allegro forward. Our expertise spans across a wide range of logistics process optimization, volume management, and delivery time prediction. We utilize a mix of Machine Learning (ML), Operations Research optimization tools, Google Cloud Platform components, and advanced data analytics to solve complex business challenges.

We are building core Artificial Intelligence systems that dynamically optimize delivery costs and improve the efficiency of our network - including parcel lockers (One Box) and courier operations. Joining us means becoming part of a Data Science group that collaborates closely with product, engineering, and operations to build AI/ML systems running directly in production environments.

#goodtobehere means that:

• You will join a team you can count on - we work with top-class specialists who have knowledge- and experience-sharing in their DNA.
• You will love our level of autonomy in team organization, the space for continuous development, and the opportunity to try new things. You get to choose which technology solves the problem and you are responsible for what you create.
• You will value our Developer Experience and the full platform of tools and technologies that make creating software easier. We rely on an internal ecosystem based on self-service and widely used tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, GitHub, and GitHub Actions. Thanks to this, you can contribute to Allegro from your very first days on the job.
• You will be equipped with modern AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on developing new services and refining existing ones (also leveraging AI support).
• You will create solutions that will be used (and loved!) by your friends, family and millions of our customers.
• You will meet the Allegro Scale, which starts with over 1000 microservices, an open-source data bus (Hermes) with 300K+ rps, a Service Mesh with 1M+ rps, tens of petabytes of data, and production-used machine learning.
• You will become part of Allegro Tech - We speak at industry conferences, cooperate with tech communities, run our own blog (it's been over 10 years!), record podcasts, lead guilds, and we organize our own internal conference - the Allegro Tech Meeting. We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
