Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Portcast is a venture-backed, Singapore-based logistics technology startup building a real-time transportation visibility platform for global supply chains. We help shippers, manufacturers, and logistics service providers turn data into decisions and decisions into measurable business impact. Our platform goes beyond visibility. Portcast surfaces the right risks early, helping teams prevent detention and demurrage, accelerate exception management, and close invoices faster with built-in evidence. We turn visibility into outcomes: reduced costs, improved operational control, and more predictable supply chains. Founded in 2018 and backed by leading technology investors, we are building for an industry at a critical inflection point of digital transformation. Our team of software engineers, data scientists, and logistics experts is on a mission to make supply chains not just visible, but decisively actionable, end to end.

Your focus is ensuring model accuracy, reliability, and scalability in live production systems. You'll be one of two on our data science team, so this role is built for someone highly independent, ambitious, and curious, comfortable owning problems end to end without a big team around them. What You’ll Own: Develop and deploy machine learning models from initial research to production, ensuring scalability and performance in live environments. Own the end-to-end ML pipeline: data processing, model development, testing, deployment, and continuous optimization. Comfortable building from a rough outline rather than a finished spec. You'll w
