• Partner with customers to turn rules into deployable models. 🤝

Must-have skills

• 5+ years building & shipping optimization/ML systems (or PhD + 2 yrs).
• Track record of taking ideas from research to production.
• Depth in at least one: RL, (very) large-scale optimization, or applied ML (focused on graphs).
• Strong systems experience (production code, pipelines, orchestration, monitoring).
• Clear communication; fluent English.
• Nice to have: routing/planning, forecasting, or graph learning.
• German (B2+) is a plus. 🇩🇪

How we work
