Wild Thinkers Welcome
Thrasio is a next-generation consumer goods company reimagining how the world’s most-loved products become accessible to everyone. We acquire quality brands and use world-class expertise and data science to make existing products better or create new ones to meet customer needs.
We’ve got huge goals, and every Thrasher plays an integral part in getting us there. That’s why we only bring on people who think positively. Who look out for the team. Who tell their egos to take a hike while they get the job done right.
From the moment you become a Thrasher, we give you the freedom you need to take big swings and push what’s possible to get us there. And if you fail, it’s cool—we know you’ll grow spectacularly. What matters is that you’re helping impact millions of people around the world who use our products everyday.
Because with every new spatula or pillow brand we grow, with every kitchen scale we develop, our goal is to provide people everywhere with what they need to make the most of every moment - ensuring that what gets delivered to their door delivers.

- Experience delivering robust and maintainable production codebases autonomously delivering data science models to downstream systems
- Expertise in mixed integer programming and simulation modeling leveraging one or more of Gurobi, CPLEX, AMPL, PuLP, or similar tools
- Proficiency in Python or R, SQL, Git
- Passion for driving outsized business impact through applied science, humility, and collaboration

- Experience in forecasting, pricing, causal inference (to ease collaboration with partner teams)
- Familiarity with Databricks, Snowflake, Spark (or other forms of distributed computing)
What We Offer:
