Senior Algorithm/ C++ Engineer

Description

As an Senior C++ Developer, you will play a crucial role within our Optimization Engineering team. This team is responsible for developing and maintaining APIs that address a wide range of discrete optimization challenges within the Salesforce ecosystem.

These APIs are primarily used in complex projects like vehicle routing and scheduling optimization. Our algorithms leverage cutting-edge combinatorial optimization methodologies and extensive commercial Geographic Information System (GIS) datasets.

We are looking for a skilled developer with significant experience in creating algorithm-based systems, especially in complex environments. You will lead the technical development of a robust routing and scheduling service, working closely with US-based teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead Development: Take charge of the development process for the routing and scheduling services, ensuring it meets performance and efficiency requirements.
• Algorithm Optimization: Apply your deep knowledge of C++ to optimize algorithms and data structures for efficient routing and scheduling.
• AWS Cloud Integration: Utilize your expertise in AWS cloud services to design, deploy, and manage cloud-based components of the routing scheduling service.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product managers, and data scientists, to gather requirements, provide technical insights, and drive project success.
• Code Quality: Maintain and improve the codebase by implementing best practices, code reviews, and refactoring when necessary.
• Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve complex technical issues, ensuring the service's reliability and performance.
• Documentation: Create and maintain documentation for code, design, and processes.
  
  

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in C++ development.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to optimize code for performance.
• Demonstrated experience with AWS cloud services.
• Strong ownership and great attention to detail.
• Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)
  
  

• Familiarity with routing and scheduling algorithms.
• Working knowledge in mathematical modeling such as Linear Programming and Mixed Integer Programming.
• Knowledge in GIS including open-source routing engines and OpenStreetMap data
• Experience with distributed systems.
• Extensive knowledge of build tools (Bazel, CMake, or similar)
• Knowledge of related programming languages such as Python or Java.
• Previous experience working in cross-functional, geographically distributed teams.
