Data Scientist (offline)

Retail shops and distributors operate with monthly and quarterly cycles of delivery. At the beginning of each cycle retail shop has to preorder certain amount of each of the SKU (stock keeping unit). You will have access to several years of sales data for hundreds of thousand SKUs across multiple shops inside one network.

We need you to build the forecasting engine that will be able to predict the demand for each item and every store (taking promos, cross-correlation of sales, etc). This is the first stage of a B2B product developed inside our company.
