Forward Deployed Engineer | Merchandising

What we do

RELEX Solutions delivers a unified supply chain planning platform for retailers and manufacturers, enabled by proven AI technology. We help companies optimize demand forecasting, replenishment, merchandising, pricing and promotions, supply chain operations, and production planning across the end-to-end value chain. Who we are

We work on the decisions where retail margins are won and lost. Changing a price is easy. Knowing which of fifty thousand prices to change, what it does to demand, and whether last week’s promotion actually made money is not. That is what we build for. RELEX Solutions delivers a unified supply chain and retail planning platform for retailers and manufacturers, enabled by proven AI technology, with a global team of over 2,000 professionals working side-by-side with our customers.

The role

In response to our fast growth in North America, we are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer with a strong data science foundation for our US Merchandising business. You will be part of the central engineering team, and work with the US operations team, directly with US customers. You will be the scientific and technical face of RELEX Merchandising to US retailers.

What makes this role different

This is not a consulting role and not a solutions architect role. You write production code and build production models that run in live customer environments. And it is not a generalist engineering seat: co-developing forecast and optimization improvements with a customer is science work, and the bar is set by some of the most demanding retailers in the US.

The hard part of this job is not prototyping quickly. The hard part is that the improvement you co-develop has to be right, hold up in front of the customer’s own analysts, and then run in production every week. You walk in with a hypothesis, test it on their data, and stand behind the result, limitations included.

What you'll do

What you'll bring to the table

Nice to have: exposure to retail, merchandising, or pricing and promotions. More important, you learn a new domain and a new codebase fast, and you're comfortable being productive before you feel fully up to speed

Where this role can go

As the US Merchandising business grows, so does this role. The natural path is to become the senior scientific voice for the region, shaping what the central team builds and how it lands with US customers.

What we offer

We are a global community of different cultures, voices, and experiences. We celebrate what makes us unique and connect through what we share, in an authentic and safe environment. Together we shape the future, and each other.

Please note that to be considered for this position, you must be fluent in English, be based in the U.S. and hold a valid work permit for said country. We're excited to connect with applicants who meet these criteria and share our passion to do hard things, trust each other, and build what's next for the product, the planet, and the people.
