ABOUT THE COMPANY
Milk Moovement is building a world-class team focused on getting the right milk
to the right place at the right time.
Our growing herd of employees is driven to provide our clients with the data
they need to make critical decisions that impact their operations and ultimately
your favourite dairy products.
Who is Milk Moovement you might ask? We are a young VC-backed company with
humble roots and massive ambitions to disrupt the dairy supply chain. We think
differently, act nimbly, and always leave things better than we found them.
We're expanding our team to further our mission. Find us out on Twitter,
Instagram, LinkedIn (@milkmoovement), and our home page to learn more or hit
“apply” below!
Please Note: While the role is fully remote, we are currently only accepting
candidates based out of Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. Applications from
outside of this area will not be considered at this time.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring an Applied Data Scientist to join our team and help optimize and
streamline agricultural supply chains! As a member of our Data team, you will
leverage machine learning, statistical modeling, and mathematical optimization
to build intelligent supply chain software and decision-support tooling. Here
are some examples of things you might do:
• Design and implement scalable data-driven systems to solve real-world
operation challenges (e.g. scheduling, plant operations, financial forecasting),
including pipelines for data ingestion, modeling (e.g., ML, optimization,
statistical), deployment, and monitoring
• Use regression and classification models to uncover supply chain anomalies and
inefficiencies
• Collaborate with product and design to ensure new intelligent, data-optimized
features are embedded within the platform
• Stay current with advancements in data science and integrate new techniques as
appropriate
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Milk Moovement seeks to have a diverse, inclusive, team-oriented, and
curiosity-driven herd. Our technical team thrives on finding innovative
solutions to the challenges inherent to digital supply chains, and we expect you
will be excited to do so as well. You don’t need experience in the dairy
industry - we’ll get you up to speed with our Dairy 101 course (it’s definitely
more complicated than you think!).What you do need is experience using data
science to solve real-world problems.
You will likely have built predictive models, performed regression analysis,
and/or applied optimization techniques to drive business outcomes. You are
fluent in Python and common statistical and data science frameworks, and eager
to be a big contributor in a major growth area for Milk Moovement. You should
have 5+ years of experience in similar roles and enjoy creating models and
systems that deliver measurable impact for the business.
WHAT ELSE
• Experience designing and supporting end-to-end data science
workflows—including model training, deployment, monitoring, and MLOps practices
(e.g., CI/CD, Docker, model versioning)
• Proficiency in building and deploying models using frameworks such as Pandas,
NumPy, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn
• Demonstrated expertise in writing clean, modular, and efficient Python code,
with a deep understanding of software engineering best practices including unit
testing, packaging, performance profiling, and scalable architecture design
• Experience developing and applying models—including optimization (e.g., linear
and mixed-integer programming), regression, classification, clustering, and time
series forecasting—to solve real-world problems like scheduling, routing, and
resource planning
• Proficiency in SQL and a solid understanding of data warehousing concepts and
how to shape data for modeling and analysis
• Experience working with cloud platforms (especially AWS), and deploying models
using native services such as Sagemaker, EC2, or Lambda
NICE TO HAVES
• Knowledge of big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hadoop)
• Experience with MM specific data tooling - Terraform, dbt, and Snowflake
• Experience with real-time data processing tools (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis)
• Experience using container-based services (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes)
