• 1. Mixed-Integer Programming MIP modeling formulating real-world business rules as decision variables linear constraints LP/IP theory branch-and-bound intuition.
• 2. Commercial solver experience FICO Xpress strongly preferred or Gurobi/CPLEX/OR-Tools/Hexaly including solver tuning gaps threads seeds determinism and reading solver logs/.lp files.
• 3. Programming to implement model visualize model solutions Java the model lives in Java behind a solver abstraction Python incl. Streamlit for the dashboard able to code and ship changes in both programming languages. Also required: comfortable using AI coding agents Claude/Copilot for fast changes high coding standards a collaborative team player open to ideas/feedback no solo work a fast learner.
