Senior Data Scientist (Operational Research)

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.
