Senior Data Scientist

FourKites

Remote · ChennaiSalary not disclosedfull-timeFourKites Careers

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will build and own machine learning models that power core prediction problems across the FourKites platform — including ETA/ATA forecasting and message-based status extraction. You will work end-to-end, from data pipeline to production deployment and monitoring, turning noisy real-world logistics data into models that run at scale and directly move the needle on customer outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and productionize ML models for problems like ETA/ATA prediction, using regression, classification, and time-series forecasting techniques
  • Develop NLP/LLM-based extraction pipelines for message-based ETA and status updates (text extraction, entity recognition)
  • Own models end-to-end: data pipeline → training → deployment → monitoring → retraining
  • Work with noisy, real-world logistics and supply chain data (GPS pings, check calls, carrier data) rather than clean, pre-processed datasets
  • Diagnose gaps between offline evaluation performance and live production accuracy, and drive fixes
  • Build and maintain automated training/retraining pipelines using orchestration tools such as Airflow
  • Set up and maintain model monitoring and observability (e.g., Grafana) to catch drift and degradation proactively
  • Replace manual or rule-based processes with ML-driven automation (e.g., automating manual check calls)
  • Translate model performance improvements into business impact — operational savings, efficiency gains, and deal-relevant outcomes
  • Mentor and guide other data scientists/engineers on technical approach and best practices
