HN Jobs

Shyp - San Francisco, CA. Data scientist We're looking to hire our first data scientist. We just raised $50 million from Kleiner Perkins, and we're working on allocating our fleet of drivers more efficiently. A few months ago the routing algorithm was "pick the closest available driver by distance", so there's definitely a lot of room for improvement. We did just start logging the positions of every driver at the time of every pickup, and making guesses about how long it's going to take. Hoping you can help us make the most of this and our other data. We have a ton of other interesting optimization problems - how/when to get pickups from drivers to the warehouse, how to optimize the warehouse, how to route packages to people once they are in our possession, etc. Our founders are Canadian and we can help with visas. Any workstation setup you want, really generous healthcare and dental programs. Also hiring for mobile engineering positions & a warehouse engineering lead. Contact me - burke@shyp.com
