Algorithmer?
Seriously, what do we call a person who does Algorithms research? Algorithmicist is unwieldy. And rhymes with spooky things. I used Algorithmer. It did not get much support. And it rhymes with materials, which may also be undesirable.

My first thought would be "algorithms researcher". It's longer than any of your suggestions, but has the advantage that people are more likely to recognize the words.
Algorithmician? Algorithmist? I don't see how you get to algorithmicist naturally; the ci isn't justified.
In Europe, people say Informatician / Informatiker, but of course this represents a wider category, e.g. including Complexiticists :-)

in Greece we call it :
Algorithmas...
- I find it difficult to tell CS researchers in other areas that I am an algorithms researcher. They all think they do algorithms, whatever their area: ML, PL, Networking, Databases, ...
- Algorithmas, I like! Let me be silly and say, Algorithmas Maximus. Sounds strong.
in greece although an algorithmer is starving.
So, you can call him poor
Typically, when an algorithm is associated with processing information, data is read from an input source, written to an output device, so I think that it can be one of the best professions in the world!22dd
