Summary
We are looking for a highly skilled Data Engineer with strong expertise in Python-based optimization, graph data structures, and rule-based decision systems. The ideal candidate will design and build scalable data pipelines and intelligent optimization frameworks leveraging graph modeling, semantic data, and cost-based optimization techniques.
A key aspect of this role involves working with Excel spreadsheets as primary data inputs and outputs, transforming structured business data into optimized solutions and actionable insights.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines and processing systems using Python
Ingest, clean, and transform data from Excel spreadsheets into structured formats for processing
Generate and export optimized results and reports back into Excel for business users
Model complex relationships using graph-based approaches (e.g., NetworkX)
Work with semantic data structures and knowledge graphs using RDF frameworks (e.g., RDFLib)
Develop and implement rule-based optimization systems and decision engines
Apply cost models and optimization logic to improve system efficiency and performance
Build and maintain optimization solutions using:
Rule engines (e.g., rule-engine, durable_rules)
Optimization libraries (e.g., PuLP, linear/integer programming)
Translate business rules defined in spreadsheets into automated rule-based systems
Collaborate with AI/ML teams to integrate machine learning models into data pipelines and optimization workflows
Ensure scalability, reliability, and performance of data systems
Perform data validation, quality checks, and monitoring
Document system architecture, data models, and optimization logic
Required Skills & Qualifications
Strong programming experience in Python
Hands-on experience with Excel data processing using libraries such as:
pandas, openpyxl, or xlrd/xlsxwriter
Experience with:
NetworkX (graph modeling and analysis)
RDFLib (semantic web / RDF data handling)
Experience building rule-based systems using tools like:
rule-engine
durable_rules
Practical experience with optimization techniques using libraries such as:
PuLP (linear programming / optimization)
Solid understanding of:
Data structures and algorithms
Graph theory and network modeling
Cost-based optimization and decision systems
Experience handling structured tabular data workflows (especially Excel-based systems)
Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and integrating models into production systems
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing Excel-driven decision-support tools
Experience with knowledge graphs and ontology design
Exposure to distributed data systems (e.g., Spark, Kafka)
Understanding of constraint programming or operations research
Experience deploying models/services in cloud environments (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure)
Familiarity with MLOps practices
Nice to Have
Experience with real-time decision systems
Background in supply chain, logistics, or optimization-heavy domains
Exposure to hybrid systems combining rules + ML models
