About the role

Our Applied AI/ML Science team builds and maintains the models that power the marketplace. That work includes the shipping and delivery estimates retailers rely on as they shop and check out: what it will cost to ship and when it will arrive, before the order has been packed. Within Applied Science, our Shipping and Fulfillment team builds the models behind those estimates, including models that learn to understand products from images and text. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Predicting how an order will be packed : Before an order ships, we have to anticipate how it will be packed. You'll build models that learn from what each item is and how items combine in a cart
  • Survey the literature and existing approaches to identify promising ideas
  • Prototype and train models offline, benchmarking against our current methods
  • Build out the strongest approach into a working implementation
  • Work with Applied Scientists and ML Engineers to test it against live traffic
  • Present findings and recommendations to the team
