Job Description

We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist to build real-world demand forecasting systems that directly impact manufacturing, inventory, and supply chain decisions.

This is not just a modeling role — you’ll be solving messy, real-world data problems and turning them into business-critical decisions.

  • Build end-to-end demand forecasting systems using multi-retailer data
  • Handle messy, incomplete, and inconsistent datasets
  • Develop models across SKU / store / region hierarchies
  • Work on:
  • Time series forecasting (ARIMA, ETS)
  • ML models (XGBoost, LightGBM)
  • Deep learning (LSTM, TFT – plus)
  • Translate forecasts into:
  • Inventory recommendations
  • Production planning insights

What we are looking for :

  • Strong experience in time series forecasting
  • Background in Retail / CPG / Supply Chain analytics
  • Hands-on with Python + ML frameworks
  • Experience building production-grade ML pipelines
  • Ability to work with imperfect / real-world data

Why This Role?

  • Build systems that directly impact real-world supply chains
  • Work on unsolved, high-impact problems
  • High ownership + fast-moving team
  • Opportunity to shape a category-defining product
