Job Summary

Join a collaborative Logistics Algorithms team focused on optimizing warehouse throughput and maintaining high fulfillment quality. As an Applied Scientist, you will translate complex logistics challenges into mathematical models, design advanced optimization algorithms, and contribute to building and maintaining the scalable software systems that run them. This role involves close collaboration with Software Engineers, challenging and improving existing algorithms, and delivering end-to-end solutions from prototyping to production. If you have a strong background in combinatorial optimization, hands-on software engineering experience (ideally JVM-based), and a passion for logistics systems, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact in a flat, agile, and inclusive environment.
