About the Team

Our Decision Science team consists of over 20 Data Scientists.

Our main responsibility is to build data products for ride-hailing, logistics, food delivery, and payments. How does one achieve this, you may ask? By leveraging on Machine Learning. From selecting the right driver to dispatch, to dynamically setting prices, to forecasting real-world events, to processing the hundreds of millions of orders per month across more than 20 products - all this is driven by Machine Learning. We are working on several projects now, including one about how we can strategically position our driver-partners to improve our customer experience. 

As a team, we’re concerned not only with the growth of the company, but each other’s personal and professional growths, too. With WFH becoming more normalized, you best believe we’ve been sharing our favorite ways to prioritize a healthy work-life balance at home (Netflix, anyone?). Our team enjoys keeping fit via badminton, table tennis, and hiking.
