We are Thrasio - Builders Welcome!
At Thrasio, we’re reimagining how to make the world’s most-loved products accessible to everyone. We work with successful sellers, using a deep understanding of rankings, ratings, and reviews – plus supply chain and marketing smarts – to transform the art and science of commerce. We estimate that 1 in 6 households has purchased a Thrasio product! And our goal is for all of those households to be truly delighted by their purchase.
What Makes Us Unique
At Thrasio, we’re in building mode: block by block we’re working together to construct a great company. What does that look like? Everyone is a leader - we lean into opportunities, not titles. We expect everyone to behave and act like a leader. Our Leadership Principles inform the ways we work together to ensure the brands, products and services we offer truly delight our customers. Everyone is a builder - whether it’s gaining marketable new skills through project sprints outside of your own function, or standing up more efficient ways of work - we’re doing it from the ground up. Everyone belongs- a sense of belonging brings us all together. We operate as One Team.
THE ROLE
As a Senior Data Scientist on the Operations Research team, you will drive Supply Optimization systems at the center of inventory management, forecasting, pricing, and marketing decision-making across Thrasio’s extensive portfolio of omnichannel products.

Responsibilities:
- Developing discrete event simulations to quantify uncertainty in terms relevant to the business, as well as power strategic decision making through scenario analysis
- Leveraging linear programming/mixed integer programming, Markov decision processes, metaheuristics, and other forms of stochastic optimization to develop inventory policies in the presence of uncertainty
- Partnering closely with the pricing, promotions, and marketing science teams and integrating the causal impact of their business levers into a joint optimization framework alongside inventory management
- Collaborating with cross-functional partners such as engineering, product management, and brand managers to build interfaces to your models, allowing for informed, tracked input where business context is missing
- Owning personal development cycles, managing risk, and bringing stakeholders along for the ride
- Delivering and supporting production code driving business critical decision making systems
What You Bring to the Party:
- Masters or Ph.D. in a quantitative subject (i.e. computer science, economics, operations research, statistics, etc.) or a related field such as Industrial Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, etc.
- 3+ years (Masters) or 1+ years (Ph.D.) of practical experience working in data science teams (ideally in e-commerce or supply chain settings)
- Experience delivering robust and maintainable production codebases autonomously delivering data science models to downstream systems
- Expertise in mixed integer programming and simulation modeling leveraging one or more of Gurobi, CPLEX, AMPL, PuLP, or similar tools
- Proficiency in Python or R, SQL, Git
- Passion for driving outsized business impact through applied science, humility, and collaboration
- Familiarity with modern machine learning and predictive modeling techniques (e.g. Linear Regression, XGBoost, LightGBM, Pytorch, etc.)
- Experience in forecasting, pricing, causal inference (to ease collaboration with partner teams)
- Familiarity with Databricks, Snowflake, Spark (or other forms of distributed computing)
What We Offer:
- The chance to be part of a next-gen consumer goods company that is changing the industry
- A collaborative work environment where cross-functional teams work together to solve problems and achieve common goals
- The opportunity to build together with a talented, diverse and passionate team, and the innovative technology to enable us
- A hybrid work environment that allows employees to manage their schedules effectively, meet in a hub when necessary, and maintain a healthy balance
