Senior Data Scientist - Better Places

Location data sits at the heart of every delivery, and the Better Places tribe owns the address intelligence that makes those deliveries possible. We ingest messy, real-world address inputs, normalise them, correct geocoding errors, and enrich them with open and proprietary data-all at a scale of hundreds of millions of requests per month.

Within the tribe, the Geo Solutions team builds and maintains the data pipelines that power our address enrichment, first-mile routing, and last-meter delivery features. We focus on building scalable, observable, and high-quality geodata workflows that enable fast onboarding of new markets and continuous improvement in existing ones.
