Job summary

Miratech is seeking an experienced Operations Research Engineer to join the Workforce Management product stream and build optimization capabilities for large-scale contact center planning. You will apply operations research, mathematical optimization, and algorithm design to model, prototype, and deploy production-grade optimization services that support scheduling, staffing, and coverage management.

You will collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional experience designing and implementing optimization solutions in production environments.
• Hands-on production experience with OR-Tools (CP-SAT), or a comparable constraint-programming / mixed-integer-programming solver.
• Strong foundation in linear programming, integer programming, or stochastic optimization.
• Direct experience modeling and solving workforce or resource scheduling problems.
• Experience working with large datasets and solving large scale optimization problems.
• Proficiency in Java, Python, or C++.
• Experience translating complex business requirements into mathematical models and optimization objectives.
• Strong software engineering skills with the ability to build production-ready services and validation frameworks.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Research, design, and develop optimization models for contact center workforce planning, scheduling and resource allocation.
• Design and implement the schedule optimization engine using OR-Tools/CP-SAT.
• Own the constraint model end to end: formalize business rule into a solvable, maintainable model. Build the production-grade solver as a service within the WFM platform that meets latency targets for real forecast group volumes.
• Define and validate schedule quality metrics (coverage attainment, constraint violations, solve time, solution stability across re-solves) and instrument the service so quality can be monitored in production.
• Build and execute tests and validation of optimization algorithms to deliver performance, scalability, and accuracy.
• Collaborate with architects and engineering teams to integrate optimization models into an enterprise-grade optimization engine of the workforce management platform.
• Partner with workforce-planning and real-time-analyst stakeholders to validate that generated schedules are operationally usable.
• Effectively communicate and present findings, methodologies, and results to engineering and business stakeholders.
