Senior Data Scientist

At Tive, we imagine a fully-transparent world in which everything and everyone is connected. We innovate beyond what the world thought possible—so what people hold near and dear arrives on time and in full.

We believe (and live!) four core values:
  • Transparency First: We make everything visible so that everyone can operate better

  • Always strive to make things simpler

  • We are One Team, we have each other's backs

  • Relentless iteration to optimize and improve


Whether shipped by road, rail, ocean, or air, Tive reduces shipment delays, minimizes rejected loads, and decreases theft, damage, and spoilage. Our customers count on Tive to ensure that their shipments are delivered on time and in full—because every shipment matters.

In the next few years, one of Tive’s primary focus areas will be on delivering actionable insights to our customers both about their own data and about the overall health and status of the global supply chain. As a Senior Data Scientist at Tive, you will use your considerable experience and industry knowledge to help lead Tive into this next phase of growth by building ML and predictive models trained off of Tive’s vast data resources.  We are an end-to-end data team and as such, you will also be working with data and software engineers to put the model you build into our production platform.


Our ideal candidate has:

  • 3-5+ years prior industry data science experience,

  • A Master’s, PhD or similiar advanced degree, or work experience equivalent, in computer science/mathematics/physics/engineering or related technical field,

  • Strong problem solving and analytical skills with the ability to validate results and turn them into actionable business insights,

  • Experience with the entire life cycle of a data science project, from proof of concept development to production,

  • Strong Python and SQL skills,

  • Knowledge of a wide range of supervised and unsupervised algorithms,

  • Experience in a multi-dimensional data environment,

  • Excellent interpersonal and written/verbal communication skills,

  • Experience with geo-spatial and/or time series data,

  • Experience working with large, streaming datasets,

  • Familiarity with Agile development methodologies such as Scrum, and

  • Prior experience building forecasting models from multivariate data.


What you’ll be doing:

  • You will use the massive geo-spatial data sets that Tive collects every day, and turn them into actionable insights for our customers.

  • You will use machine learning and statistics, and build predictive models aimed at ensuring that every shipment sent with Tive arrives on time and in full.

  • You will use your relationship skills to build and strengthen cross functional relationships, including those with remote workers in other time zones.

  • You will be working with a world class team at a fast growing company that aims to make this the best place you’ve ever worked.

What does Tive offer?

  • Work with a committed global team that have each others back.
  • Office-based or hybrid options. Your choice. 
  • Competitive equity to ensure all of our employees have a sense of ownership in the long-term success of Tive’s growth.
