Sr. Data Scientist (Operations Research)
(immediate Joiners)
Join Eizen AI to build production-scale Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning systems that optimize pricing and promotions across thousands of SKUs for Fortune 500 retailers. This is a rare opportunity to deploy cutting-edge optimization research in real-world business environments where your models directly impact revenue decisions for major retail chains.
We're looking for a Data Scientists with deep expertise in convex and multi-objective optimization who can bridge theoretical rigor with scalable ML systems that handle real-world business constraints.
About Eizen
Eizen AI is agentic AI platform serving Fortune 500 clients across manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and robotics. We're expanding our AI capabilities into intelligent pricing and revenue optimization.
Founded by a PhD in Cognitive Robotics from IIT Kanpur with 18+ years of AI/ML leadership, we combine academic rigor with enterprise-grade execution. We're expanding to Atlanta, GA as part of our US growth strategy.
What You will Build
Core Responsibility: Lead the technical architecture and research for our next-generation pricing optimization platform powered by constrained multi-objective learning.
Your Impact
- Design and deploy role-based Multi-Agent RL systems for pricing optimization across 10,000s of SKUs
- Formulate complex business problems as constrained optimization problems integrating regulatory, operational, and relationship constraints
- Solve sparse data challenges using causal inference, transfer learning, and counterfactual reasoning
- Build production ML systems on Databricks/MLflow handling real-time pricing recommendations
- Lead technical teams through complex implementations while communicating with business stakeholders
- Drive research roadmap balancing academic innovation with commercial deployment
Technical Challenges:
- Multi-objective optimization with competing business goals (revenue, margin, volume, market share)
- Handling sparse transaction data and cold-start problems for new products
- Integrating hard business constraints (price floors/ceilings, competitive relationships, brand equity)
- Real-time inference at scale with constraint satisfaction
- Explainability and interpretability for merchant decision support
What You Bring:
