Help us build the future of supply chain intelligence.

We're a well-funded startup backed by prominent investors, founded by serial entrepreneurs who've previously raised hundreds of millions and built category-defining companies. We're building a next-generation supply chain AI platform that will transform how global commerce operates.

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist with deep mathematical foundations who can translate cutting-edge research into production systems that scale.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and implement advanced ML models for supply chain optimization
  • Apply linear programming and optimization techniques to real-world problems
  • Build and deploy deep learning models at production scale
  • Own the MLOps pipeline for training and serving large models
  • Write production-quality code that handles billions of data points
  • Collaborate with engineering to integrate models into our platform
  • Research and implement state-of-the-art techniques in forecasting and optimization
  • Design experiments and analyze results to drive product decisions
  • Build self-improving systems that learn from user interactions

You Should Have:

  • Master's degree (or PhD) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related field
  • Strong mathematical foundations (linear algebra, optimization, probability theory)
  • Deep understanding of linear programming and combinatorial optimization
  • Extensive experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch)
  • Proven track record deploying ML models to production
  • MLOps experience with large-scale model training and serving
  • Proficiency in Python and software engineering best practices
  • Experience with distributed computing and big data technologies
  • Ability to translate complex research into practical solutions

Bonus Points

  • PhD in a relevant field with published research
  • Experience with supply chain optimization or operations research
  • Built ML infrastructure for training models with billions of parameters
  • Experience with real-time ML systems and edge deployment
  • Track record at successful startups or top-tier tech companies

Why Join Us?

  • Work with founders who've built category leading companies before
  • Backed by prominent deep tech investors — we have runway and ambition
  • Solve genuinely hard problems that impact global commerce
  • Own the entire ML stack with resources to build it right
  • Collaborate with a world-class team of engineers
  • Competitive compensation with significant equity upside
  • Join at the ground floor of what will be a category-defining company

To Apply Share a production ML system you've built that required both mathematical sophistication and engineering excellence. We're especially interested in examples involving optimization, large-scale training, or systems that improved over time. Include metrics on model performance and system scale if possible.
