About Olympus Cloud

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers.

This is a new position created as the team has grown over the last year. This hire will own our demand forecasting models and the process for keeping them accurate as conditions change.

We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Responsibilities

• Develop time series forecasts with Prophet, statsmodels or gradient-boosted approaches.
• Partner with data engineering on feature tables and data quality.

• Present findings to product, marketing and finance leaders with clear recommendations.
• Build predictive models in Python using scikit-learn, XGBoost or LightGBM.
• Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations.
