Job Description

About the Team & Role


We are seeking Supply Chain Applied Scientists to join Russell Allgor's team in Bellevue, WA or Dallas, TX.

In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy advanced AI and optimization solutions to address some of the most pressing problems in modern supply chains — from network design and demand forecasting to inventory optimization and risk management. 

This role requires deep technical expertise in data science, machine learning, and optimization, as well as the ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence senior executives. At times, you may be assigned to a specific customer engagement and operate in a customer-facing role translating a customers supply chain objectives into the science required to bring Auger's Autonomous Operating System to life in their ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement novel models in optimization, machine learning, and AI tailored to large-scale supply chain problems. 
  • Translate complex scientific concepts into practical, scalable solutions that drive measurable business impact. 
  • Formulate and solve large-scale mixed-integer and stochastic programs (network design, facility location, inventory, routing) using decomposition (Benders/Lagrangian), cutting planes, and column generation. 
  • Build probabilistic demand/supply models (e.g., Bayesian hierarchical time series), deliver calibrated forecasts, and quantify uncertainty with prediction intervals/conformal methods. 
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and customer teams to bring prototypes into production. 
  • Engage directly with enterprise executives, articulating the value of AI and data science solutions with confidence and clarity. 
  • Publish, present, and evangelize Auger’s thought leadership in supply chain science and AI. 

Qualifications
  • PhD in Mathematics, Operations Research, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. 
  • Demonstrated expertise in optimization, machine learning, or enterprise-scale data systems 
  • Proven leadership experience scaling cross-functional data and AI teams. 
  • Deep technical credibility in AI and data science, with a track record of delivering applied solutions in industry. 
  • Exceptional EQ and collaboration skills, with the ability to unify scientists, engineers, product leaders, and customers around a shared vision. 
  • Experience in supply chain, logistics, or enterprise operations

About Auger

About Auger

Auger is a pioneering venture to build the world's first true end-to-end supply chain operating system. Founded and led by Dave Clark, former CEO of the Amazon Consumer Business and backed by an initial $100M from Oak HC/FT, Auger is building a future where global supply chains operate with the simplicity of today’s most intuitive consumer technologies. Revolutionizing global supply chains with an AI-powered OS unifying data for seamless, real-time insights, and powerful automation.

Our Solution

Auger is creating a new solution for companies seeking better options. Auger’s core strength lies in its deep AI-powered automation, paired with a consumer-grade user experience. This combination allows operators to handle complex tasks through simple, familiar tools. Need real-time inventory insights for next week’s shipment? Just ask. Actionable data appears instantly, enabling swift decisions—no complex queries or training required.

Why We’re Different

Traditional supply chain management is fragmented, relying on incompatible systems and inefficient workarounds. Many companies are stuck with “Franken-software”—patched-together solutions that fail to communicate effectively. Auger is different. We integrate deeply with existing systems, use AI to automate routine processes, and deliver a cohesive user experience that feels intuitive and natural, letting your team focus on what matters: driving growth, innovation, and sustainability.

A Human-Centered Approach

Broken supply chains don’t just impact businesses—they affect people. Delays mean products don’t reach shelves, miscommunications lead to overtime and burnout, and inefficiencies drive up costs and contribute to a growing carbon footprint. We believe supply chain problems are human problems, and we’re here to solve them. At Auger, we’re on a mission to make global supply chains more efficient, more sustainable, and ultimately, better for everyone.
