The Data Scientist will engage with external clients and internal customers, understand their needs, and deliver insights, recommendations and tools to shape their actions.
With a focus on optimisation techniques and GCP implementation, you will drive innovative solutions while mentoring up to two junior data scientists or interns within the team.
Responsibilities: * Engage with clients to understand their business objectives, data landscape, and analytical requirements. * Delivery of both ad-hoc analysis requests from external clients and internal customers, as well as proactive value-add research delivered through documents, dashboards, presentations, etc. * Apply advanced statistical, optimisation and machine learning techniques to analyse large datasets and derive meaningful insights. * Formulate real-world problems as mathematical optimisation models, accounting for constraints, uncertainties, and multiple objectives. * Design end-to-end data science solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client, with particular focus on optimisation approaches. * Develop innovative optimisation concepts and drive them towards implementation with growing self-sufficiency. * Mentor junior data scientists, sharing expertise in optimisation techniques and GCP implementation.
Qualifications: * BSc/MSc/PhD in Maths, Statistics, Operations Research, Data Science, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent work experience. * 6+ years as a Data Scientist or similar role, ideally in consulting or client-facing environments.
Core Expertise: * Optimisation techniques: linear, integer, mixed-integer programming; non-linear optimisation; metaheuristics (genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, particle swarm optimisation); constraint programming; multi-objective and stochastic optimisation. * Solving business problems such as resource allocation, scheduling, supply chain optimisation, network design, portfolio optimisation, pricing, and revenue management. * Optimisation frameworks in Python: PuLP, CVXPY, Pyomo, DEAP, PyGAD, SciPy, Google OR-Tools, Gurobi, CPLEX, CBC solvers.
Technical Skills: * Advanced data science coding in Python, R, SQL. * GCP and its data science tools (BigQuery, AI Platform, Dataflow, Dataproc) for scaling optimisation workloads. * Implementing optimisation solutions as microservices/APIs in production. * Deploying ML models and advanced analytics in GCP cloud environments (GCP certifications advantageous).
Additional Skills: * Translating complex optimisation results into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders. * Creating effective visualisations of optimisation outcomes and trade-offs. * Strong communication skills and ability to work towards innovative solutions with guidance.
What We Offer * Competitive compensation package. * Corporate learning programs and certifications. * Medical Insurance. * Flexible working environment (remote/hybrid). * Career growth opportunities in a global team.
