CONSTRAINT & FEASIBILITY FRAMEWORKS
Build and maintain a centralized constraint framework used across plaaning and optimization systems.
Encode
Authority rules
Timing Windows
Compatibility constraints
Asset availability and readiness
Surface clear diagnostics for infeasible plans and constraint violations so both humans and machines can understand what failed and why.
DATA OWNERSHIP & VALIDATION
Own the data inputs needed for feasibility and constraint enforcement.
Define and enforce data contracts, normalization, and validation pipelines.
Build robustness against incomplete, delayed, or noisy operational data.
PRODUCTION INTEGRATION
Integrate feasibility checks into real-time and batch planning pipelines.
Partner with optimization and execution teams to gate every action on valid, policy-compliant inputs.
Validate system behavior through scenario testing, simulations, and operational feedback from real users.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
STRONG ENGINEERING & MODELING SKILLS
Proficiency in at least one of: Python, Java, Go, or C++
Experience building constraint-based or rule-based systems in production.
Experience integrating AI or agent-based reasoning into downstream decision or execution pipelines.
OPTIMIZATION & DECISION SCIENCE BACKGROUND
Degree or equivalent experience in Operations Research, Applied Math, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
Strong understanding of: Linear programming, Mixed-integer programming, Constraint satisfaction systems.
Experience using tools such as Gurobi, CPLEX, OR-Tools, Pyomo, AMPL, or equivalent.
SYSTEMS THINKING
Ability to reason about feasibility vs optimality tradeoffs.
Comfort integrating probabilistic or AI-derived outputs into deterministic systems.
Strong instincts for debugging, failure analysis, and explainability in high-stakes environments.
BONUS POINTS
Experience with logistics, supply chain, or routing systems.
Experience working alongside optimization or planning teams.
Exposure to defense, government, or mission-critical operations.
Prior work integrating AI agents into decision or execution pipelines.
MISSION AND IDENTITY
We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.
Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent — you'll fit in here.
WHY GALLATIN?
The logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point.
Compensation: Gallatin offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location. In addition to base salary, we offer a generous equity grant, full healthcare coverage, 401k, unlimited PTO, and the perks of working in a high-caliber, mission-driven environment.
