Overview:

• Leading AI-driven Global Supply Chain Solutions Software Product Company and one of Glassdoor’s “Best Places to Work”
• Seeking an astute individual that has a strong technical foundation with the additional ability to be hands-on with the broader engineering team as part of the development/deployment cycle, and deep knowledge of industry best practices, with the ability to implement them working with both the platform, and the product teams.
• The Platform Data Science and Machine Learning team works closely with sales, product and engineering teams to design and implement the next generation of retail solutions.
• Data Science team members bear the heavy burden of turning both small, sparse and massive data into actionable insights with measurable improvements to the customer bottom line. They use rigorous analysis and repeatable processes to implement both black box and interpretable models.
• The Data Science team uses MLOps to operationalize the machine learning pipeline.

Scope:

• Lead the data science workstream within implementation projects of our newly launched products and ML solutions at first customers in cooperation with Product Management and field teams
• Perform data analysis to discover patterns, trends and anomalies in customer data, translate the results into actionable insights, and present results and recommendations to support customers in improving their data quality.
• Configure and tune statistical algorithms such as time series and Machine Learning models from open source as well as BY’s libraries to support overall project objectives and achieve highest possible quality outcome
• Design and build tools and code templates to improve and/or speed up the data science workflow in customer projects to enable scale, leveraging new technologies such as GenAI
• Work with BY’s Data Scientists, Product Developers, Product Managers and other members of the Blue Yonder team to understand customer-specific requirements and data science related issues and translate them into model enhancement feature requests and tuning options
• Collaborate with Data Scientists, Solution Architects and Software Engineers to design and develop tools for the scalable use of AI solutions in supply chain
• Write clean, well-structured, documented and efficient (maintainable) code that adheres to software development best practices
• Create templates, artifacts, documentation, and training material for the larger data science community, customers and partners towards reusability and automation
• Actively and responsively collaborate with the field teams and customers to drive adoption of our new products and services
• Communicate and/or support the business cases to PMG and PD regarding specific trends for future product functionality and enhancements
• Mentor data science consultants in your own team and/or the wider BY team
• Keep up with industry trends in data science practice and continuously improve the team’s tools and methodologies
