Senior Data Scientist - Unbox Tribe (Factory Operations)
We have a new opportunity within our Data Science team for a Senior Data Scientist to optimise how our factories operate.
Our operations, logistics and supply chain are integral to ensuring our customers receive their Gousto box. How we optimise our replenishment processes and resources is key to ensuring our customers get what they want when they want it, by making sure our factory operates efficiently with ingredients in the right place at the right time.
Our technology & operations are growing - we now run a multi-site operation and will be opening two further factories in the near future. Our Senior Data Scientist will work on optimising the operations that occur within our collection of factories, from the movement of goods within them to stock management.
As a Senior Data Scientist you will be experienced driving the technical delivery of successful data science products, and will be comfortable setting the direction of data science products while working with stakeholders to understand what really matters. At Gousto we look to support and develop our people at all levels and are passionate about continued development within Data Science.
If you’re a natural problem solver, passionate about data and love to model the real world, you’ll fit right in!
Who You Are
- Adventurer in data science - As a senior member of the data science team you will be using advanced optimisation techniques that will transform how efficiently we run our supply chain. We look to our senior team members to unlock new step changes in performance for our existing data products and introduce new theories and technologies to the team.
- End-to-end owner of supply data products - The problems we pursue are diverse and have a direct impact on the business. They range from optimising flows in our warehouse to forecasting how popular each recipe might be if we made it available for customers to order next week. We believe that if you build something, you should run it too. This means that our data scientists take ownership over the entire process from ideation to deployment, as well as automation and maintenance. Knowing our data products inside-out allows us to keep learning and improving.
- Passionate about impact - We have big plans for the future, hence we are looking for creative thinkers to help drive the business and disrupt the online grocery market by leveraging machine learning and optimisation.
- Relentlessly raising the bar – We believe that one of the most important things our Senior Data Scientists do is educate the more junior members of the team. We’re looking for someone who can bring new and innovative engineering practices into the team, someone who is willing to help educate and help to improve what we do on a daily basis. As a senior member of the team, you’re always on the lookout for opportunities to help the team fulfil their potential.
