Fleetio is looking for a product-minded    Senior Applied    Data Scientist to join our Fleet Intelligence team.
You will help turn years of fleet maintenance and operational data into trusted, actionable intelligence that helps customers anticipate what is ahead and make better decisions about usage, cost, availability, maintenance risk, and asset lifecycle.
This is an applied role at the intersection of data science, machine learning, analytics engineering, and product development. You will work closely with Product Managers, Designers, Software Engineers, and Data partners to identify valuable prediction problems, develop practical models, and bring them into customer-facing workflows. Your goal is to deliver intelligence that changes a decision, arrives early enough to act on, and communicates uncertainty honestly.
Your initial mandate will be grounded in confirmed Fleet Intelligence work: utilization and tire intelligence, ROI measurement, existing predictive models, and the analytics foundations needed to support customer-facing intelligence. You will assess current model quality, establish credible baselines, and help the team ship useful capabilities while strengthening its data-science practices.
Over time, you will help evaluate and shape opportunities for Predictive Fleet Intelligence, including projection, anticipation, and risk inference. You will help determine which opportunities are technically credible, valuable to customers, and ready to become durable product investments.

Who You Are    You are an applied data scientist who enjoys working on ambiguous, high-value product problems. You can translate a customer or business decision into a measurable modeling problem, establish a credible baseline, and iteratively improve it. You know when straightforward statistics or deterministic projection is the right answer and when a machine learning approach is warranted.
You care deeply about correctness, explainability, and trust. You are comfortable communicating confidence intervals, limitations, and data gaps to technical and non-technical partners. You collaborate well with software and data engineers, but you can independently explore data, build production-quality models, define evaluation methods, and guide how model outputs should appear in a product experience.
You are pragmatic, product-minded, and outcome-oriented. You would rather ship a useful, well-calibrated forecast than an impressive model that does not change a customer decision.
Your Impact    
• Help deliver near-term Fleet Intelligence initiatives, including tire intelligence, utilization intelligence, ROI measurement, existing predictive models, and the analytical foundations that support customer-facing intelligence.

• Evaluate and develop credible projections or…
