You are proficient in R programming (or equivalent: SAS, Matlab…) and/or have strong basic knowledge in programming languages (Python, Julia, Perl, JS, bash) or compiled languages (C++, Java) and/or have experience in UNIX/LINUX environments.

You have already worked with optimization solvers and are proficient in their configuration (CPLEX, Gurobi or equivalent), you are comfortable with problem-solving concepts through dynamic programming, classical optimization heuristics, and the development of metaheuristics.

You aspire to commit and quickly take on responsibilities in internal R&D missions and projects of high added value within a dynamic structure.
