Data Scientist - Supply Chain

About the role

Auger is hiring a Data Scientist to help transform raw customer data into the structured understanding within our ontology that powers autonomous operations and execution. This role sits at the intersection of applied science and data engineering, bridging the gap between business processes and the world model that represents them.

What You’ll Do

• Understand how customer businesses actually operate: how work flows, where decisions are made, and what good looks like operationally.
• Interpret customer data and assign context — figure out what the data means, how entities relate, and where the gaps and inconsistencies are.
• Form and test hypotheses using data to prove or disprove ideas about the system and the relationships between entities within it.
• Build inference techniques and regression models that extract signal and quantify relationships.
• Translate business logic and objectives into mathematical constraints and quantifiable calculations.
• Identify missing concepts needed to close process and data loops — spot what isn't there yet but needs to be.
• Serve as the critical link between applied science and data engineering: translate scientific requirements into engineering specifications and vice versa.

What You Bring

• Master's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field; undergraduate degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, or Computer Science.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL; comfortable working with large, messy, real-world datasets.
• Experience with machine learning and optimization models, with strong statistical intuition — you notice when results look wrong and can articulate why.
• Enough familiarity with data pipelines and infrastructure to have productive technical conversations with data engineers.
• Sharp analytical instincts paired with strong common sense: you can tell when something doesn't add up, and you use data to prove or disprove it.
• A builder's mindset — you break problems into testable components, take things apart, and improve them.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward asking the right question before assuming the right answer.
• Supply chain and logistics experience is ideal. Hands-on experience with any complex, interrelated physical system is highly beneficial.

Compensation & Benefits

The base pay range for this role is $180,000 – $250,000 per year.
