at Einride

🏢 About Einride

Einride is pioneering the future of freight transport by developing autonomous, electric vehicles and intelligent logistics systems. Their mission to make transportation emission-free, safe, and sustainable offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI and green tech, with real-world impact on global supply chains.

About This Role

As a Data Scientist at Einride, you will transform manual analytical workflows into scalable AI-driven solutions, directly contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of freight operations. Your work on data pipelines and dashboards will power insights that drive customer engagements and operational improvements.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing automated pipeline outputs, then collaborating with logistics engineers to identify new manual workflows to automate. Afternoon could be spent building a Looker Studio dashboard for a customer engagement, followed by a team standup to discuss GenAI tool integration.

🎯 Who Einride Is Looking For

  • Proven ability to identify repetitive tasks and automate them using Python, SQL, and GenAI tools like Claude or Gemini.
  • Strong hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (BigQuery, Snowflake) and visualization tools (Looker Studio) for building dashboards.
  • Background in logistics or transport data is a plus, with a knack for turning complex datasets into actionable insights.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where data directly influences business decisions.

📝 Tips for Applying to Einride

1

Highlight specific examples of automating manual workflows using AI or GenAI tools in your previous roles.

2

Mention any experience with transport or logistics data, even if from side projects or academic work.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize Python (pandas, NumPy), SQL, and cloud platforms like BigQuery or Snowflake.

4

Include links to your GitHub or portfolio showcasing dashboards or automated pipelines you've built.

5

In your cover letter, connect your work to Einride's mission of sustainability and efficiency.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your passion for using AI to automate and scale solutions, with concrete examples.', 'Relevant experience with data pipelines, cloud platforms, and visualization tools.', 'Understanding of freight/logistics challenges and how data can solve them.', "Alignment with Einride's mission to revolutionize transport sustainably."]
