sennder is Europe's leading digital freight forwarder, redefining road logistics through a unified platform powered by AI and data. The company is transitioning from acquisition-driven growth to an outcome-driven, AI-native organization. This Machine Learning Engineer role joins a talented ML team to develop applied machine learning solutions that drive competitive advantage in margin, cost, and service.
The position is approximately 70% data science and statistical exploration, 30% ML engineering. You will own end-to-end projects from research and prototyping through production deployment. Key responsibilities include: optimizing the pricing engine through bid estimation and margin-optimization algorithms; building predictive models for carrier behavior and market capacity forecasting; maintaining and improving recommender systems; exploring new ML applications in logistics (routing, network optimization); partnering with Product Managers on discovery and ideation; integrating LLMs and AI agents into workflows and products; collaborating with the Data & AI Platform team on MLOps infrastructure; and ensuring holistic project execution with production monitoring.
You will work directly with end-users, operators, and Product Managers to understand workflows and influence product direction. The role emphasizes pragmatic decision-making—choosing the right solution (LLM, traditional ML, or heuristic) for each problem.
Required: 5+ years hands-on experience in Data Science or ML Engineering. Strong statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and data exploration skills. Production model deployment experience with modular code and software engineering best practices. Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Git. Experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake), Jupyter Notebooks, and data visualization tools (Streamlit, PowerBI). Solid understanding of LLMs and AI tools in production. Ability to translate complex logistical problems into data-driven solutions. Strong communication and collaboration skills.
