Hybrid Senior Data Developer, Planning and Forecasting

at Dialogue

• Job title: Senior Data Developer, Planning and Forecasting
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Tech skills: Flux
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Montreal, Canada

Responsibilities

• Act as the bridge between backend engineering, data science, and operations — ensuring that forecasting models, optimization solvers, and data-driven decision flows are not only theoretically correct but also reliable and observable in production.
• Design and maintain data pipelines, data architectures, and experimentation tools that enable rapid iteration, high reliability, and continuous improvement of our planning intelligence.
• Build and maintain continuous learning pipelines—automated training pipelines for ML forecasting models that incorporate new data and guardrails against performance drift.
• Create reproducible CI workflows for ML models and CP-SAT solver configurations, including automated regression checks and benchmarking.
• Develop and manage real-time and batch inference pipelines that feed appointment demand forecasts and provider scheduling decisions.
• Implement robust observability—structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerts—to ensure models and solvers behave as expected in production.
• Enable a short research loop by designing tools and data flows that allow data scientists and engineers to experiment, compare model variants, and deploy improvements with confidence.

Requirements

• Experience building and operationalizing ML training and inference pipelines using modern data engineering and MLOps tools.
• Experience working with mathematical optimization tools (e.g., OR-Tools/CP-SAT, Pyomo, Gurobi) and understanding how to validate, benchmark, and put solver logic into production.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals—version control, CI/CD, testing, observability, and infrastructure as code.
• Comfortable collaborating closely with data scientists, backend engineers, and operational stakeholders in a cross-functional product environment.
• Care as much about reliability and correctness as about speed, and enjoy building simple, maintainable, and measurable systems.
• Thrive in environments where your work directly informs real operational decisions.
