Data Scientist Contractor required at globally renowned retail company

Your new company
Working for a globally renowned retail company.

Your new role
Seeking a hands-on Data Science role in London to support R&D for automated packaging. You’ll combine operations research, simulation, and practical engineering to create models that improve how the products are counted, bagged, and boxed. The goal: deliver iterative, production-ready solutions that make our packaging systems faster, smarter, and more reliable.

What you'll need to succeed
Not the classic “predictive modeling” skillset.

Required skillset:
    • Exploration vs. exploitation mindset.
    • Ability to search optimal recipe space within a model.
    • Build models to explore and exploit possibilities, not just predict outcomes!
    • Operations research: handling constraints, finding optimal arrangements for fastest packing.
    • Stochastic simulation: accounting for variability in machine speeds and conveyor setups.
    • Techniques: statistical simulation, stochastic modeling, linear optimization.

Tools & Platforms Expertise:
  • Databricks for data workflows.
  • GitHub for CI/CD and version control.
  • Package management for reproducibility.

What you'll get in return
Flexible working options available.
