  • Keep updated with latest optimization research through conferences and papers

  • Analyze algorithms running in a production environment and collect KPIs to track solution quality

What you’ll need  

  • PhD in AI, Mathematics, Signal Processing or equivalent  

  • Minimum 3 years professional experience developing solutions for optimization problems

  • Experience solving NP-Hard scheduling problems for real world applications

  • Practical experience with mathematical optimization techniques such as Linear and Mixed Integer Programming
