THE ROLE 
We’re hiring an Applied Data Scientist to join our team and help optimize and streamline agricultural supply chains! As a member of our Data team, you will leverage machine learning, statistical modeling, and mathematical optimization to build intelligent supply chain software and decision-support tooling. Here are some examples of things you might do:• Design and implement scalable data-driven systems to solve real-world operation challenges (e.g. scheduling, plant operations, financial forecasting), including pipelines for data ingestion, modeling (e.g., ML, optimization, statistical), deployment, and monitoring• Use regression and classification models to uncover supply chain anomalies and inefficiencies • Collaborate with product and design to ensure new intelligent, data-optimized features are embedded within the platform• Stay current with advancements in data science and integrate new techniques as appropriate WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Milk Moovement seeks to have a diverse, inclusive, team-oriented, and curiosity-driven herd. Our technical team thrives on finding innovative solutions to the challenges inherent to digital supply chains, and we expect you will be excited to do so as well. You don’t need experience in the dairy industry - we’ll get you up to speed with our Dairy 101 course (it’s definitely more complicated than you think!).What you do need is experience using data science to solve real-world problems. You will likely have built predictive models, performed regression analysis, and/or applied optimization techniques to drive business outcomes. You are fluent in Python and common statistical and data science frameworks, and eager to be a big contributor in a major growth area for Milk Moovement. You should have 5+ years of experience in similar roles and enjoy creating models and systems that deliver measurable impact for the business.

NICE TO HAVES
• Knowledge of big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hadoop)• Experience with MM specific data tooling - Terraform, dbt, and Snowflake • Experience with real-time data processing tools (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis)• Experience using container-based services (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes) 
salary range for this role is $140,000 - $160,000 CAD / yearly
