Senior Data Scientist – Optimization
We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist with strong Optimization / Operations Research expertise to join a high-impact team working on complex aviation problems.
This is not a typical ML-focused Data Scientist role — the focus is on building and deploying advanced optimization models to drive real‑world decision-making at scale.
What you’ll be doing
* Design and develop optimization models (Linear, Non‑linear, Mixed Integer Programming, Constraint‑based)
* Translate complex business problems into mathematical frameworks
* Work closely with Analytics, Product, and Engineering teams to deliver data‑driven solutions
* Build end‑to‑end solutions: data exploration → modeling → validation → deployment
* Apply optimization techniques to scheduling, resource allocation, and planning problems
* Ensure models are scalable, robust, and production‑ready
* Communicate insights and trade‑offs clearly to senior stakeholders
* Mentor junior data scientists and review technical work
Must‑have experience
* Strong hands‑on experience with optimization modelling (non‑negotiable)
* Expertise in: Linear Programming (LP), Mixed Integer Programming (MIP), Constraint Optimization
* Experience in areas such as: Crew scheduling / pairing, Aircraft / flight scheduling, Network or fleet planning, Resource allocation / operations planning
* Proficiency in Python with tools like: Pyomo / PuLP, OR‑Tools, Gurobi / CPLEX
* Strong foundations in mathematics, statistics, and algorithms
* Experience solving real‑world optimization problems (not just academic)
