The Opportunity
DAT's Convoy Platform team is seeking a Staff Applied Scientist to design and deploy the next generation of marketplace algorithms and intelligent decision systems that power the movement of freight across the nation.
You will tackle some of the most challenging problems in digital logistics: matching supply with demand at scale, allocating resources efficiently under uncertainty, and building systems that can make and refine complex, highjudgment decisions continuously as new information arrives.
This is a handson, endtoend science role where you will:
Invent and improve algorithms that optimize a dynamic twosided marketplace in real time
Build decision engines that learn from feedback and guide operational and product outcomes
Blend techniques from machine learning, optimization, and causal inference to deliver measurable marketplace improvements
Take ideas from research to production, ensuring seamless integration into our operational systems
You will be joining at a pivotal point in DAT's transformation, bringing together Convoy's industryleading technology with DAT's scale and deep market presence to create the most advanced digital freight network in the country. The solutions you build will help move billions of dollars of freight more efficiently, reducing waste and increasing value for shippers, brokers, and carriers.
You are someone who will
As a Staff Applied Scientist, you will set technical direction, mentor other scientists, and deliver solutions whose impact scales across teams and the broader Convoy Platform, not just within individual projects.
Drive smarter, data-informed decision-making through advanced Science features
Whether you're using collaborative filtering to generate highly personalized load recommendations, enhancing those recommendations with a conversational AI agent powered by LLMs to deliver actionable offers to carriers, or reimagining auction mechanisms and carrier engagement with multi-armed bandits, your mandate is to identify and apply the right algorithmic and data-driven approach to maximize the impact of every feature. You'll drive innovation across the Convoy Platform, always seeking new ways for our systems to make smarter, faster, and more reliable decisions.
Develop feedback-aware automated decision-making systems
There are many situations where models simply do not outperform humans. We are looking for individuals who are open to building systems capable of ingesting human inputs. This means as part of the role, you will continuously analyze feedback from brokers and carriers to identify areas for improvement, fine-tune auction parameters, and optimize performance.
Engage collaboratively
Science drives automated decisions across many domains at the Convoy platform. We seek individuals with a history of leading successful collaborations with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and data scientists, to ensure seamless integration of the mo
