Data Scientist III (Team- Valmo)
BengaluruFull-time5–8 yrsPosted open since sept 2025
Senior data science role at Meesho in Bengaluru. Needs 5–8 years and a PhD.
About the role
As a Data Scientist 3(Operations Research), you will own a workstream within Valmo network design — not just a model. You will be accountable for the North Star Metric of that workstream (cost per shipment, end-to-end shipment speed, network capacity utilisation, on-time delivery, delivery promise), set its OR/ML roadmap, and mentor DS1s and DS2s in delivering it.
What you'll do
- Own a workstream end to end: decide which problems are worth solving, set and drive its roadmap, and be accountable for the movement of its metrics
- Formulate complex, loosely defined business problems in network design, routing, scheduling, allocation and capacity planning as LP, MILP
- Solve them at scale with decomposition (Benders, Lagrangian relaxation, column generation, branch-and-price), heuristics and metaheuristics (large neighbourhood search
- Handle uncertainty with stochastic, robust and chance-constrained optimisation, and test decisions through simulation before they reach the ground
- Combine OR with ML and DL, such as demand and volume forecasting, ETA prediction and learned heuristics, wherever it improves the decision
What you need
- Machine learning
- SQL
- Python
