Data Scientist

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Data Scientist based in Brazil.

This is a highly technical opportunity focused on building advanced optimization solutions for complex, large-scale business problems. You will design a two-tier optimization engine combining heuristic algorithms with Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP). The work will help prioritize markets, allocate budgets, and maximize audience impression delivery while respecting real-world constraints. You will translate business objectives into mathematical formulations and production-ready optimization solutions. The role involves close collaboration with domain experts and non-technical stakeholders in an agile, two-week sprint environment. You will work with modern cloud technologies and advanced optimization techniques to create scalable, measurable business impact. This position is ideal for a Data Scientist or Optimization Engineer who enjoys solving challenging problems where mathematics, algorithms, and business strategy intersect.

• Familiarity with AWS Lambda for deploying optimization workloads is a plus.

• Experience in advertising, media planning, or marketing optimization is desirable.

• Knowledge of media metrics such as CPM, GRP, impressions, reach, and frequency is a plus.

• Experience with parallel computing and techniques for making optimization workloads more scalable is desirable.

Benefits

• Remote work opportunity in Brazil.

• Opportunity to work on sophisticated optimization and Data Science challenges with real-world business impact.

• Exposure to advanced mathematical optimization, heuristic algorithms, and cloud-based technologies.

• Collaborative environment with close interaction between technical teams and business/domain experts.

• Agile working environment based on two-week development sprints.

• Opportunity to contribute to production-grade optimization solutions at scale.
