Senior Data Scientist m/w/d

About Us

What if your work could drive change in a globally established industry, shaping processes that touch every corner of the world? At Forto, we are at the forefront of change, harnessing the power of AI to revolutionise logistics. We want to reinvent digital supply chains to be transparent, frictionless and sustainable. From day one, our mission has been to simplify global trade – creating a seamless and efficient logistics process.

**Your Role & Mission**

As a Data Scientist in the Data Science team at Forto, you will take ownership of production ML systems that extract structured intelligence from unstructured logistics data. You will be a Data Scientist Engineer working closely with the Engineering Manager and Product Manager across three core workstreams: document data extraction (FlashDoc), vocabulary mapping, and rate sheet parsing, while using a combination of LLMs, custom models, and rule-based postprocessing. Your immediate priority is ensuring continuity of existing production systems, but equally important is driving step-change improvements in accuracy through disruptive methods and new technologies when the opportunity arises. Beyond document automation, the team’s roadmap extends into traditional data science territory, demand forecasting, churn prediction, route optimization, and predictive analytics for logistics operations.
