Data Scientist, Machine Learning

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLY:
- WE WILL ONLY CONSIDER CANDIDATES COMING FROM SOFTWARE PRODUCT COMPANIES THAT FOCUS ON DEMAND PLANING, FORECASTING OR SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT.
- WE WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY EXPERIENCE FROM IT OR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION CONSULTANCIES (EXAMPLES OF THE WRONG COMPANIES WOULD BE TATA, INFOSYS, COGNIZANT, IBM GLOBAL SERVICES)
- THIS IS A HYBRID ROLE 3-DAYS A WEEK, NO REMOTE AT THIS TIME
We are disrupting the supply chain planning industry with our AI-driven demand planning and inventory replenishment software. The total addressable market (TAM) for supply chain management (SCM) software is substantial and growing rapidly. In 2023, the global SCM software market was valued at approximately $28.9 billion and is projected to reach $45.2 billion by 2027, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 9.4% during the forecast period.
We specifically target the rapidly growing segment of the supply chain management (SCM) industry: small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This focus has become even more pertinent in light of the supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19. SMBs now have access to technological advantages previously exclusive to large enterprise companies like Walmart, Amazon, Lowe's, and Home Depot, who have invested hundreds of millions into these technologies.
In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and deploying the next-generation platform tightly integrated with Amazon AWS services such as EMR, Athena, Glue, and Spark. You will develop an ultra-real-time, AI-driven demand planning engine to help our client serve industries that manage perishable items, including food manufacturing, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmaceuticals, and more.
If you are passionate about leveraging machine learning and AI technologies to solve complex supply chain challenges, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
