Flexport Trucking is looking for an analytically-driven, technically-skilled Data Scientist with a background in causal inference to tackle some of the most complex problems in the trucking industry.
Flexport Trucking’s Convoy Platform is the nation’s leading digital freight marketplace, providing brokerages with an ecosystem of tools for connecting with carriers and managing their logistics needs. Brokers post loads, carriers interact through our app to view, bid on, and secure those loads, and Convoy Platform’s technology ensures the right carrier finds the right load with the right pricing. Our interconnected network enables the movement of millions of truckloads across the country, enhancing earnings for carriers and brokers alike while minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
Data Science is central to Convoy Platform. Our team builds the models that power critical functions: from freight pricing and load relevance engines to auction strategies, fraud detection, safety scoring, and ETA predictions. We use causal inference to evaluate the impact of business decisions, model marketplace dynamics, and optimize core services for pricing, load-carrier relevance, and customer experience. Our platform constantly adapts, with manual and automated interventions, evolving economic inputs and market signals from brokers, etc. The breadth of the problem space is vast, spanning machine learning, optimization, experimental design, and econometrics. We’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible within this complex, two-sided marketplace.
We are seeking a Causal Inference Data Scientist to contribute to the development of data-driven insights within our marketplace, including evaluating the causal impact of new pricing models, analyzing the effects of AI-driven marketing campaigns on carrier engagement, and refining algorithms to maximize both load coverage and broker margins. Join us in solving meaningful, challenging problems that sit at the heart of our marketplace.
