About the job

Build Quince’s supply chain planning platform from the ground up, productionizing forecasting and optimization systems and creating AI-enabled tools for planners.

What you'll do

  • Architect and build the planning platform, including model pipelines, experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and integrations with vendor, order, and inventory systems.
  • Create operator tools such as dashboards, override workflows, audit trails, and alerts; develop observability and feedback loops for model performance.
  • Set technical direction, partner with planning and science teams, and guide a globally distributed engineering team.

What they ask for

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, including significant production work on data-intensive, ML-adjacent, or science platform systems.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a greenfield platform from architecture through production.
  • Strong production ML and AI platform engineering experience, including feature pipelines, model serving, experimentation, monitoring, drift detection, and AI infrastructure.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals across data systems, API design, pipeline orchestration, and production operations, plus stakeholder communication skills.

Nice to have

  • Experience in supply chain planning, demand forecasting, inventory optimization, or logistics; adjacent-domain candidates who can develop supply chain fluency will also be considered.
  • Experience directing geographically distributed engineering teams; hands-on ML or data science background is a plus.
