- Work with the team to build tailored apps that incorporate advanced solving technologies like optimization, machine learning, and discrete event simulation that will be used in a variety of ways.
- Resolve sophisticated issues around application performance, reliability,
- scalability, security, and data integrity.
- Work directly with clients to learn their critical performance indicators and look for optimization or simulationsolutions to drive performance improvement.
- Creatively analyze model structure, inputs and outputs, and results to identify problems and opportunities, working with clients to realize improvement potential.
- Uncover and pursue solutions that improve project quality, timing, cost, or results.
- Validate and improve data structures, build and models and follow-up scenarios, and work with the team to prepare client presentations.
- Help create and execute project plans and successful modeling strategies, working with a team of experienced project managers and account specialists to deliver results.
- Work with a team of highly qualified experts, solving diverse and fascinating problems combining operations research, statistics, and simulation
- Work with Fortune 500 companies and consulting partners on high-value, high-visibility projects
- Make real contributions to solving mission-critical and globally impactful problems.
- Design and maintain code architecture and coding best practices for core technology.
- Coach junior team members through projects – help with initial scope, build code scaffolding, answer questions, and ensure that thorough testing is done.
- Advocate for high standards in QA (streamline process, expand scope of testing with unit tests and/or integration tests)
- Act as subject matter expert for core technology within the company
- visibility
- Influence roadmap creation and prioritization for core technology.
- Expand area of influence to several technologies and help manage dependencies, reduce redundant code, and spread best practices across teams.
