Data Scientist

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Data Scientist with deep expertise in mathematical formulations, optimization techniques, and advanced analytical modeling. In this role, you will design and implement sophisticated optimization solutions that drive key business decisions, efficiency improvements, and product innovation. You will collaborate closely with data engineering, product, and business teams to solve complex, high‑impact problems through applied mathematics, statistical modeling, and machine learning.

What You’ll Do
• Develop, refine, and implement optimization models (linear programming, mixed‑integer programming, nonlinear optimization, stochastic optimization, etc.) for large‑scale business use cases.
• Transform ambiguous business questions into mathematical problem statements, selecting appropriate constraints, objective functions, and solution methods.
• Build and deploy end‑to‑end predictive models, simulation frameworks, and analytical pipelines.
• Apply advanced statistical, machine learning, and quantitative modeling techniques to large datasets.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand requirements, evaluate feasibility, and translate needs into technical solutions.
• Partner with data engineering to productionize optimization and ML models in scalable environments.
• Conduct model validation, scenario testing, and sensitivity analysis to ensure robustness and reliability.
• Communicate insights, model behavior, and recommendations to leadership through clear storytelling and visualization.
• Mentor junior data scientists and contribute to internal knowledge-sharing around optimization and mathematical modeling best practices.
• Stay current on emerging methods, solvers, and computational techniques in optimization and applied mathematics.
