- Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate scientific solutions into production systems serving millions of orders.
Requirements
- PhD in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or C++.
- Research experience in mathematical programming (LP, MIP), combinatorial optimization, or multi-objective control.
- Proven track record of publications in top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals.
- Experience with algorithms, data structures, and numerical optimization.
- Must be based in or able to work from Luxembourg, Barcelona, Berlin, or London
Nice to have
- Experience building optimization systems that run in production at scale.
- Proficiency with Unix/Linux environments.
- Professional software development experience.
Culture & Benefits
- Opportunity to develop models that influence billions of euros in annual operational spend.
- Collaborative environment working alongside Senior and Principal scientists and academic partners.
- Culture of applied research where success is measured by shipping systems rather than just publishing papers.
- Inclusive workplace that empowers employees to invent, simplify, and deliver results.
