About Burq

Burq started with an ambitious mission: to turn the complex process of offering delivery into a simple, turnkey solution. It’s a big mission, and now we want you to join us in making it even bigger. 🚀

We’re proud to be recognized as one of Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators and a 2025 Inc. Magazine Power Partner, awards that highlight how we’re redefining the future of logistics while empowering our partners to grow.

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors like Village Global, the fund whose investors include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, and Sara Blakely, we’ve built a world-class team across the globe.

We operate at scale but remain small enough for every person to have a massive impact. There’s a lot of important work ahead, and joining Burq means the opportunity to grow faster than ever while doing the most meaningful work of your career.

Here’s a quick overview of what you will be doing:

The Role

We're looking for a Head of Data & AI to build the intelligence that powers Burq.

You'll build a world-class data-and-ML platform: the systems that turn data into models which make every delivery decision smarter and agents that automate the work the industry still does by hand. You'll set the strategy, make the hard architecture and modeling calls, ship models into production that move the business, and build the team to do it at scale.

This is a player-coach role. You'll lead and grow the data and ML team while staying deeply hands-on — making architecture calls, reviewing engineering and modeling work, and ensuring the platform serves both product and business goals. You'll partner closely with the Head of Engineering, and with product and AI leadership on how intelligence shows up in the product.

What You'll Do

Data Platform

  • Own the full data platform — the warehouse, streaming and batch ingestion, the semantic layer, and BI infrastructure.
  • Define and enforce data governance — access management, quality standards, and a well-modeled, trustworthy "gold" layer.
  • Make the warehouse the source of truth for operational, product, and financial analytics.

Intelligence & Machine Learning

  • Build the models that power delivery intelligence — forecasting, prediction, optimization, matching/allocation, and reliability scoring that turn our data into better real-time decisions.
  • Stand up the ML systems that make this real and reliable: feature pipelines, training, serving, evaluation, and drift monitoring.
  • Design the learning loop — instrument decisions and outcomes so models continuously improve.
  • Drive the AI agent initiative to production, partnering with product and engineering on the surrounding workflows.

Team & Stakeholders

  • Manage and grow the data and ML team (starting from a small core) — hire data engineers, analytics engineers, and data scientists/ML engineers as the platform matures.
  • Establish a clear intake process for ad hoc data requests so the team works from a roadmap, not in reactive mode.
  • Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Finance on data-driven analyses and decisions.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in data/ML, including 2+ years in a leadership or staff-level role owning a data or ML platform.
  • Player-coach — you lead a team and still go deep in the technical work: architecture, modeling, and code review.
  • Strong on both halves of the role:
  • Data platform — modern data warehouse design (e.g., Snowflake/BigQuery), streaming + batch ingestion, dbt or equivalent, performance and cost optimization, governance.
  • Machine learning — you've built and shipped production models (forecasting, optimization, ranking/matching, or prediction) with real business impact, plus the ML systems around them (feature pipelines, serving, monitoring/MLOps).
  • Experience building data and ML products, not just pipelines — you understand how data and models serve product and business goals.
  • Familiarity with modern AI/LLM and agentic data work is a strong plus.
  • Strong stakeholder management — you can say no to an ad hoc request with a good reason and a better alternative.
  • Experience at a high-growth startup or scale-up where the platform was built, not inherited.

Location

This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based in the United States and Canada, with a few in-person offsites throughout the year.

How We Work

We're remote with a few in-person offsites throughout the year. We move quickly, default to writing, and ship early to real customers before rolling things out broadly. AI is part of how we work every day, not a separate initiative — we expect people to experiment with new tools, share what they learn, and continuously rethink how great products get built. We care more about speed, ownership, and iteration than process for the sake of process.

Benefits

Investing in you 🙏

  • Competitive salary, stock options, and performance-based bonuses
  • Fully remote
  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance

At Burq, we value diversity. We are an equal opportunity employer: we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
