Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Portcast is a venture-backed, Singapore-based logistics technology startup helping freight forwarders turn data into better decisions and measurable business impact. Portcast uses AI to surface shipment exceptions, cost risks, and the right actions, helping teams focus on the shipments that need their attention, keep freight costs under control, and make procurement decisions with confidence. Our vision is to be the AI data and intelligence layer that powers exception management and margin improvement on every shipment. 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 build the technology that helps freight forwarders protect margin, improve operational efficiency, and differentiate their offering. ABOUT THE ROLE: We are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer who specializes in taking ML and AI models into production. You will own the full lifecycle, from research and model building to deployment and scaling in real-world environments. This is a hands-on role designing robust algorithms that address our core business problems, particularly in visibility, prediction, demand forecasting, and freight audit. 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.
