Data Scientist. who can solve real operational problems with a mix of . applied machine learning, optimization, and analytics. . This role is for someone who likes taking ambiguous business questions (time prediction, routing, replenishment, demand estimation, warehouse performance) and turning them into . models, algorithms, and decision support. that can be deployed and used at scale.. . You’ll work closely with operations, engineering, and product stakeholders to design solutions that are accurate, explainable, and practical—balancing model performance with latency, maintainability, and business adoption.. . Key Responsibilities. . . Build and deploy . predictive models. for operational planning and execution (e.g., cycle time, throughput, labor/time estimation, service levels). . Develop and improve . optimization and decision algorithms. (e.g., routing, replenishment, inventory positioning, parameter estimation). . Design . experiments and evaluation frameworks. to validate impact (accuracy, latency, cost reduction, productivity lift). . Translate business workflows into model-ready problem statements, features, and measurable success criteria. . Partner with software engineers to ensure solutions are . production-ready. (reliable inference, monitoring, versioning, performance tuning). . Create clear documentation and stakeholder-ready summaries of methodology, assumptions, and results. . Contribute to architecture and scaling decisions for data/ML solutions (performance, robustness, and maintainability). . . Experience (Required). . . 3+ years. in data science / applied research / analytics engineering (or equivalent), delivering models or algorithms used in real workflows. . Demonstrated experience in at least one of:. . . Applied ML. for operational prediction (time, demand, performance, risk). . Operations research / optimization. (routing, scheduling, inventory, network/warehouse optimization). . Simulation-based analysis. for operational decision-making. . . Comfortable working cross-functionally and driving work from problem definition through delivery. . . Skills (Preferred). . . Supply chain / distribution center / manufacturing operations domain experience. . Optimization tooling experience (e.g., . CPLEX. or similar solvers). . Experience balancing accuracy with . low-latency inference. and real-world constraints. . Strong communication skills: can explain tradeoffs and results to technical and non-technical partners. . .  . .  . .  . . About Us:  .  . .
