You’ll get to work with a talented troop of business leads, product managers, map operations experts, and fellow data folks, and spend a majority of your time working on some of the most challenging analytical problems in Cartography. You'll develop and deploy data science solutions to improve our mapping products that our users can rely on and enjoy.

• Perform advanced analytics when needed (such as building machine learning models using R/Python or data web apps using Shiny/Dash)

What You Will Need

• Prior experience with applied statistics and experimental design (Heads up - there will be a technical phone screen to test you on this!)
• Prior experience with supervised & unsupervised learning and business analysis is a plus
• Strong ability to tell a coherent data narrative using visualization tools and set best practices in data visualization to convey a product insight through impactful graphs

• Prior experience (research or industry) in the geospatial and mapping domain is a plus

About the Team Our Cartography team, based in Singapore and Jakarta, is a platform team that surfaces mapping technologies needed by all internal product teams and business units within Gojek. In simpler terms, we make maps fit for our users' needs and provide geospatial insights across the company. At the heart of Gojek’s businesses, we move things around - whether that’s people, food, packages, or fresh groceries. This boils down to knowing the best routes, predicting traffic patterns, and knowing our region like the back of our hand. We continuously build data products for ETA prediction, mapping error detection, map-matching, location search and ranking, and reverse geocoding. One of our most successful implementations was the generation of new pickup points via unsupervised learning and NLP. We've since deployed the pickup points generation and ETA prediction models in our main markets, and have our sights set on scaling these features to the wider region and beyond. We’re a tight-knit, high-functioning team who genuinely love what we do, as we can see the results of our efforts play out in our users' everyday lives. When we aren’t working, you’d probably find us with our noses in books, or our eyes glued to the TV screen watching the latest Korean dramas. We also prioritize self-care and wellness, and are equally concerned with each others’ personal and professional developments.
