We’re working with a fast-growing technology company looking to hire a Senior Data Scientist (Operational Research) to help solve complex, large-scale optimisation problems within its operational network.
This is a senior individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of Operational Research and Data Science. You’ll develop optimisation models and algorithms that directly influence real-world decisions across areas such as scheduling, assignment, pricing and network optimisation.
What you’ll be doing
- Designing and developing large-scale optimisation models and algorithms
- Solving complex scheduling, assignment and network optimisation problems
- Applying mathematical programming, heuristics and metaheuristics to real-world challenges
- Building, testing and benchmarking optimisation solutions using Python
- Taking optimisation models from initial concept through to production
- Working closely with Data Scientists, Software Engineers and commercial stakeholders
- Improving the scalability and performance of existing optimisation systems
What we’re looking for
- Degree/MSc/PhD in Operational Research or a closely related discipline
- Strong commercial experience applying Operational Research and optimisation techniques
- Experience building optimisation solutions within a commercial/technology environment
- Strong knowledge of areas such as mathematical programming, combinatorial optimisation, heuristics, scheduling or assignment problems
- Experience taking models and algorithms beyond research/prototyping and into real-world production environments
- Comfortable working independently and owning complex technical problems
Experience within logistics, marketplaces, transport, supply chain, routing or network optimisation would be particularly relevant, but isn't essential.
