  • Building APIs and backend services that expose optimization results, recommendations, and insights.

  • Creating dashboards and analytical tools that help users understand optimization outcomes, compare scenarios, and explain model decisions.

  • Contributing to frontend integrations and user-facing applications that make optimization capabilities accessible to business stakeholders.

  • Developing AI-assisted experiences, including LLM-powered interfaces for querying optimization results and generating insights.

  • Collaborating closely with product, engineering, and business teams to ensure optimization solutions deliver measurable impact.

What we expect

  • Familiarity with MILP solvers such as Gurobi or similar technologies.

  • Understanding of large-scale optimization approaches, including decomposition methods, relaxations, heuristics, or related techniques.

  • Knowledge of API development frameworks such as FastAPI or similar.

  • Experience building analytical applications, dashboards, or decision-support tools.

  • Familiarity with modern frontend technologies such as React is a plus.

  • Experience working with LLM platforms and AI-assisted applications is a plus.

  • Ability to balance mathematical rigor with practical engineering considerations and business needs.

What we offer:
  • The location choice is yours: remote, on-site or hybrid

  • Flexible working hours

  • Work with new technologies in a high-performance environment

  • Diverse international projects

  • IT community involvement - Meetups, Workshops & Articles
