We are focused on saving hundreds of millions of dollars using Optimization, machine learning, and scalable distributed software on the cloud that automates and optimizes inventory and shipments to customers under the uncertainty of demand, pricing and supply.
We’re looking for a passionate, results-oriented, and inventive scientist who can create and improve models for our outbound transportation planning systems. In addition, you will be working on design, development and evaluation of highly innovative models for solving complex business problems in the area of outbound transportation planning and execution systems. You will work closely with our product managers and software engineers to disambiguate complex supply chain problems and create optimization solutions to solve those problems at scale. You will directly impact our direct customers, and even play with big data and incredible scale in the background.
Watch to get the big picture.
