Coupang's Global Operations Tech (GOT) organization is responsible for systems that enable ultra-fast deliveries. The Staff Data Scientist will leverage advanced algorithms to improve customer experience by ensuring deliveries are on time, even during peak periods, and drive technology direction across multiple teams using deep industry knowledge and statistical/machine learning techniques.
Requirements
- Perform quantitative, economic, and numerical analysis of the performance of large-scale systems under uncertainty using statistical and optimization tools such as Python, R and Xpress/Gurobi/CPLEX/etc to determine optimal and heuristic solution strategies for optimization problems.
- Apply theories of mathematical optimization, including linear programming, combinatorial optimization, integer programming, dynamic programming, network flows and algorithms to design optimal or near optimal solution methodologies to be used by in-house decision support tools and software.
- Proficiency in model development, model validation and model implementation for large-scale applications
