Job Description
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
- 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)
