In addition to optimization, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a variety of AI projects, from time series analysis and computer vision to LLMs/GenAI and agentic systems, shaped by your interests and our clients’ needs.

In this role, you will

  • Design and implement solutions using mathematical optimization methods (linear, nonlinear, dynamic, stochastic, etc.)

  • Conduct traditional ML modelling, MLOps and data analysis

  • Program in Python and work with modern libraries and tools

  • Collaborate closely with colleagues and clients while taking ownership of project outcomes

What we’re looking for

  • Hands-on experience in designing and implementing solutions using mathematical optimization methods (linear, nonlinear, dynamic, stochastic, etc)

  • Strong programming skills in Python and solid understanding of linear algebra and statistical analysis

  • Ability to translate complex real-world problems into clear mathematical formulations and implement them in practice

  • Ability to read, research and thoroughly understand academic papers and apply algorithms from them in our client solutions

  • Good knowledge of version control (e.g. Git) and modern development practices

  • Strong problem-solving skills with a structured and systematic approach, combined with excellent teamwork and collaboration

  • Ability to take ownership, deliver results and communicate effectively in English (both written and spoken)

  • Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in operations research, applied mathematics, computer science, industrial engineering, or related disciplines

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with optimization frameworks

  • Broader experience in machine learning / AI, such as time series analysis, computer vision, LLMs/GenAI, reinforcement learning or agentic systems

  • Experience with PyTorch, deep learning or neural networks

  • Understanding of data platforms and architectures (e.g. Databricks, Microsoft Fabric)

  • Experience with MLOps and modern deployment practices (e.g. Docker, IaC).

  • Consulting or client-facing experience, and ability to guide teams as a technical lead

  • Previous work in industrial sectors (e.g. heavy machinery, power generation, manufacturing), or in e-commerce & b2c services

  • Finnish skills are a strong advantage
