# Staff Data Scientist - Geospatial

- **Company:** RELAY TECHNOLOGIES LLC
- **Location:** United States (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Geographic Information Systems, Data Systems, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Operational Databases, Information Technology
- **Published:** October 3, 2026
- **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/pou6873az9

## About the Role

* You have deep experience with geospatial data, telemetry, or GPS trace processing.
 * You love maps and urban geography.
 * You are motivated by complex problems with high impact.
 * You understand what it takes to own a production data product end to end - you treat observability, testing, and incident response as core responsibilities.
 * You care about the people your work affects - couriers, retailers, and internal teams all feel the impact of the data products you own.

## Description

* 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research
 * Thousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle
 * An intellectually vibrant culture of first-principles thinking, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation

The Opportunity

Relay operates a delivery network that generates rich location and movement data every day. Understanding that data - and turning it into improvements across the delivery operation - is the focus of this role.

As Staff Data Scientist for Geospatial, you will own the location and movement datasets that underpin Relay's delivery operation, defining how they are built, measured, and evolved. You will use signals from across the network to build models that make the operation faster and more reliable.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Operational Research and Data Scientists to integrate your data solutions across the Relay network.

What You'll Do

 * Define how we measure the quality of our geospatial data: identifying gaps, quantifying their impact on the operation, and prioritising improvements.
 * Continuously evolve our location datasets.
 * Own the technical strategy and roadmap for Relay's geospatial data solutions.
 * Partner with engineering to productionise and integrate solutions into the delivery operation.
 * Build observability into pipelines so that degradation in data quality is detected, understood, and acted upon.
 * Build reusable data products and define core metrics that add value across the business.
 * Coach and mentor other data scientists on technical approach, production standards, and problem decomposition.
