A day in the life You start your morning with a profitability puzzle. Thousands of low-price products are losing money, and no single team can explain why. The buying, placement, and fulfillment systems each say they did the right thing, but the customer's order still ships in three boxes from three warehouses. You trace decisions across systems, find that a parameter was quietly misconfigured weeks ago, and write up the evidence chain. Later you dig into a natural experiment, a recent policy change gave some products broader warehouse coverage. You run a causal analysis to test whether that actually improved shipment consolidation, check the assumptions, and document what you find with confidence intervals and boundary conditions. Not everything is a clean win: the effect is real for products customers buy together, but disappears for standalone items. A couple times a week, you join a cross-team working session where scientists, engineers, and data teams collaborate on end-to-end investigations. You're connecting the dots across systems that don't normally talk to each other tracing a product from purchase order to customer doorstep and pinpointing where value leaks. Some cases have obvious fixes. The more interesting ones are where every system worked as designed but the outcome is still bad. On other days you might build a counterfactual simulation to test whether a different optimization approach would change the economics, design an A/B test to validate it, or present findings to leadership walking them through what you know, what you don't, and what level of confidence each finding carries. The thread that connects it all: you're turning complex cross-system problems into structured evidence that people can act on. Some of that is causal inference, some is building AI-assisted investigation tools (and figuring out where AI helps vs. where it confidently gives you the wrong answer), and some is just good old-fashioned detective work across messy operational data. About the team We're part of a broader organization transforming how global operations teams work through AI. Within that mission, our team focuses on the hardest diagnostic problems: when automated supply chain systems produce bad outcomes and no single team can explain why. We build decision intelligence platforms that traces decisions across automated systems and uses causal engines and AI to find root causes. You'll work alongside scientists, SDEs, and ML engineers, and collaborate regularly with cross-functional partner SMEs. The team is new and you'd help shape it from the ground up.
