United States onlyAbout TruckSmarter
Logistics is one of the single largest industries in the world. Globally, logistics is an $8-$12 trillion dollar industry and in the US alone, ~$2 trillion, representing ~10% of GDP. A single percent of improvement drives profound change to every corner of the world—from the cost of our goods, to the livelihoods of local communities, to even the impact on our environment. To reshape the industry, at TruckSmarter, our focus is first on truck drivers. Trucks move 71% of freight in America (~$800bn annually) & the trucking industry represents nearly 6% of the full-time jobs in the country. If you look around you, every item has sat on a truck at one point on its journey to you. However, despite the industry being one of the greatest levers of innovation throughout history, it is still deeply fragmented & structurally misaligned. Our mission is to fix that—and we need your help.
The Role
As our first SeniorMachine Learning Engineer, you will be responsible for building machine learning models, the corresponding data pipelines and the local and production training and inference systems for our core product and operational workflows. You will work closely with designers, operations team, and other engineers driving the technical design, implementation and scale up.
Working model: TruckSmarter offers an in-office collaborative culture. This role is based out of our downtown San Francisco office, and requires in-office presence three days per week (typically Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays).
