Altana provides the world's only dynamic, intelligent map of the global supply chain - the Altana Atlas - using AI and machine learning models to connect with and learn from massive sets of public and private data. Through the Atlas, companies and governments can understand the distant origins of products well beyond their own direct suppliers; discover trading relationships and national security risks deep in their networks; measure labor and environmental impacts; identify related risks and opportunities; ensure effective compliance and enforcement with trade requirements; and collaborate to manage all of it.
We have built a fundamental understanding of how the world's economy works, and the implications for global resiliency, sustainability and opportunity are enormous. Backed by leading investors and used by the world's most important organizations (Maersk, US Customs and Border Protection, Merck, Boston Scientific, and more), Altana's mission is to power a new era of globalization organized around trusted supply chain networks.
This is a lofty mission, and our success depends on building a diverse, global team and creating an environment in which they can thrive. We operate in accordance with our values: we focus on value creation, not capture; we foster diversity and embrace difference; we embrace reality; we get things done; we amaze our clients. When you join Altana, you'll be joining a vibrant, collaborative team working together to solve complex problems with the potential for global societal impact.
At Altana, we are bringing about a better globalization by facilitating visibility, decision support, and collaboration across global business networks. We have built a fundamental understanding of how the world's economy works by mapping how physical goods transit and transform as they flow through the world's business networks. These insights are based on our extensive proprietary data network across the world's largest supply chain data corpuses, and using modern ML and data science to infer, analyze, and make sense of the physical world. We are pushing the envelope to build a foundational AI for the world's physical economy.
We are looking for a talented machine learning and data science leader to guide initiatives across the company. As VP of Machine Learning and Data Science, you'll be responsible for the approaches, culture, recruiting, leadership, and work product of several teams that are critical to Altana's success. You'll oversee the machine learning and data science components of core product features such as entity resolution for our graph construction process, information retrieval for search, recommender systems for supplier identification and vetting, customs classification and prediction, graph analyses, and reinforcement learning across our user base that includes the world's largest customs authorities, logistics providers, enterprises, and supply chain software application providers. In this role you'll report to the Chief Technical Officer and help create the culture and environment by which we use state of the art AI + ML.
