## About the role

As a Senior Numerical Optimization Engineer on this unique initiative, you will own the scheduling optimization core that decides when and how ships get built. This project represents a shipyard's work as a graph of 100,000+ manufacturing operations carrying precedence, spatial, resource, and qualification constraints, then continuously replans as the factory changes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of experience building production software systems, ideally in a fast-paced environment
- Deep expertise in numerical optimization, including linear programming, mixed-integer linear programming, constraint programming, combinatorial optimization, or metaheuristics
- Demonstrated ability to take a real-world problem, formulate it as a mathematical model, and carry that model all the way into a system other people depend on
- Hands-on experience with optimization solvers and libraries (E.g. Gurobi, CPLEX, OR-Tools, SCIP, PuLP, CVXPY, Pyomo), including the judgment to recognize when a given solver or formulation is the wrong tool
- Expert proficiency in Python for scientific computing and robust software development, with strong foundations in numerical computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas)
- Strong theoretical and practical grounding in graph algorithms, constraint satisfaction, and computational complexity analysis
