Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ActioNet is a woman-owned IT Solutions Provider with strong qualifications in Agile Software Engineering and Cyber Security. They are seeking a Data Scientist / Optimization Engineer to improve field workforce routing efficiency through advanced optimization techniques while integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement vehicle routing and scheduling algorithms using OR-Tools to generate optimal field assignments
• Develop clustering algorithms to group workloads geographically and minimize travel time/cost
• Implement constraint models (capacity, time windows, skills, priorities, survey rules) within the optimizer
• Integrate the optimizer with the Mojo control system APIs for job intake, execution, and results publishing
• Build batch and real-time optimization modes to support both scheduled and on-demand routing
• Refactor optimizer components into modular, extensible strategy interfaces for new routing heuristics
• Implement data preprocessing pipelines to normalize locations, distances, and travel matrices
• Develop automated test harnesses validating solution correctness against known datasets and constraints
• Implement 'solution quality' scoring metrics (distance, balance, SLA adherence, cost) to evaluate goodness of routes
• Create regression benchmarks comparing new algorithm performance vs. baseline outputs
• Add parallel processing and scaling support to handle large route sets and high agent counts
• Instrument services with logging and metrics to track runtime, solver performance, and solution quality
• Package optimizer services for CI/CD deployment with reproducible builds and environment configs
• Document routing logic, constraints, integration points, and operational runbooks
• Provide production support, tuning, and continuous improvement of optimization heuristics and performance

Skills

• Requires a Public Trust - must be US Citizen to be eligible
• Bachelor's Degree
• 8 years of experience
