Relay Technologies, London - Hybrid
The team
- ~160 people, around half in engineering, product and data
- 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
Every courier who works with Relay chooses their day. A day is a set of routes that have to fit together, and every courier's ideal day competes with everyone else's. Work is finite and every route still has to be covered, so matching thousands of couriers to the work they want is a recommendation problem with few precedents.
Science at Relay is the brain of the operation: machine learning, operational research, recommender systems, causal inference, location intelligence and experimentation, working together to decide how every parcel gets delivered. There's no existing recommender to iterate on. You'll build it.
