san francisco, ca • Posted 1 weeks ago
Onsite Full Time IT & Technology

  • As an Operations Data Scientist, you will develop the predictive models, optimization algorithms, and analytical frameworks that drive operational decision-making across our global network
  • You will work at the intersection of data science, operations research, logistics, and business strategy to improve network performance, forecast demand, optimize resource allocation, and identify opportunities to scale efficiently
  • Develop forecasting models for operational demand, capacity, labor requirements, inventory, and network utilization
  • Build optimization models that improve resource allocation, staffing, maintenance planning, and operational efficiency
  • Design and analyze experiments to evaluate operational initiatives and process changes
  • Create predictive models that identify operational risks, bottlenecks, quality issues, and reliability trends
  • Develop simulation models to evaluate network expansion scenarios and operational strategies
  • Partner with Operations, Engineering, Product, Supply Chain, and Finance teams to guide strategic decisions
  • Build production‑ready analytical tools and data products used by operational teams
  • Establish advanced operational metrics and measurement frameworks
  • Communicate complex analytical findings to technical and non‑technical stakeholders
  • Support long‑term planning through scenario analysis and decision modeling

Example Problems You’ll Solve

  • How many technicians will be required at each site over the next 12 months?
  • What maintenance strategy minimizes downtime while controlling cost?
  • How should inventory be positioned across the network to maximize service levels?
  • Which operational variables best predict delays, failures, or quality issues?
  • Where should future sites be launched to maximize network efficiency?
  • What is the optimal staffing model for a rapidly scaling operation?

Success Metrics

  • Forecast accuracy
  • Measurable operational cost savings
  • Capacity utilization improvements
  • Reduction in operational disruptions
  • Adoption of predictive and optimization tools by operational teams
  • Strategic decisions influenced by analytical recommendations
