Senior Data Scientist (NLP)

Компания "inDrive"

inDrive is a global tech company on a mission to challenge injustice. We started in 2012 in the coldest city on Earth, when a group of friends created a way for people to agree on fair ride prices. That idea grew into one of the world’s top ride-hailing apps, now with 360M installs across 48 countries.
