• 2+ years of hands‑on experience building and deploying optimization models in a business or research setting.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Python (NumPy, SciPy, PuLP, Pyomo) or R for modeling and analysis.
• Strong SQL querying ability; familiarity with NoSQL stores is a plus.
• Experience with visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or D3.js.
• Understanding of statistical methods and experimental design.

Soft Skills

• Exceptional problem‑solving mindset with a curiosity for digging into root causes.
• Clear communicator who can translate technical findings into business recommendations.
• Self‑motivated, able to manage multiple projects independently while working across time zones.
• Collaborative team player who values diverse perspectives.
