Data Scientist (Globally Renowned Retail Group)
Job description
Your new company
Working for a globally renowned retail company.
Seeking a hands-on Data Science role in London to support R&D for automated packaging. You'll combine operations research, simulation, and practical engineering to create models that improve how the products are counted, bagged, and boxed. The goal: deliver iterative, production-ready solutions that make our packaging systems faster, smarter, and more reliable.
What you'll need to succeed
Not the classic "predictive modeling" skillset. Required skillset:
- Exploration vs. Exploitation mindset.
- Ability to search optimal recipe space within a model.
- Build models to explore and exploit possibilities, not just predict outcomes!
- Operations research: handling constraints, finding optimal arrangements for fastest packing.
- Stochastic simulation: accounting for variability in machine speeds and conveyor setups.
- Techniques: statistical simulation, stochastic modeling, linear optimization.
Tools & Platforms Expertise:
- Databricks for data workflows.
- GitHub for CI/CD and version control.
- Package management for reproducibility.
What you'll get in return
Flexible working options available.
