Algorithm Engineer (m/f/d) - Routing

 

Join us as an Algorithm Engineer (m/f/d) in our Routing Team on a shared journey that matters!

The Routing team is building MOIA's routing engine which constitutes an essential part of MOIA's business model. The system helps us to safely guide our ever-growing fleets of manually driven and autonomous vehicles through cities and predict accurate travel times for our customers. Especially with custom routing for autonomous vehicles we help to provide the smoothest driving experience for our next generation of vehicles. 

What you will do

• You and your team build and maintain a software system to provide travel times and routes for our vehicle fleet. The travel times directly influence the assignment of customers to vehicles and yield ETAs for our customers. Hence, high accuracy is mandatory and monitoring and improving it is your daily business.
• In other scenarios, only approximate travel times are required but at a high volume. You will actively participate in developing state-of-the-art routing algorithms and data structures that support fast travel time queries and continuously monitor and improve the quality of the system.
• Provide tools to help us and other teams understand and debug routing behavior.
• Analyze geospatial data to systematically tune our routing parameters according to our specific use cases for autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles.  
• To reach these targets jointly, you become part of a highly specialized team comprising software engineers with different areas of expertise such as routing algorithms, high-performance computing, geospatial computation, and cloud infrastructure. 

What will help you to fulfill your role 

• An understanding of the complexity of algorithms and the desire to dig deep and squeeze the last bit of performance out of our systems.
• Either previous experience or a strong interest in working with geospatial data (maps, routes, GPS traces), routing algorithms, and routing APIs.
• Solid professional experience in developing highly efficient applications in a systems programming language. Ideally, you love to write Rust code like we do.
• Having deep experience in developing and designing software for microservice-based environments. Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS-managed services for deployments is a plus
• Be ready to live and breathe DevOps and believe in automated testing, infrastructure as code, and continuous deployment
• You enjoy collaborating and sharing knowledge with colleagues, also in a remote-first setting 

We encourage you to apply even if your profile does not meet all the requirements for the role since we are looking for a diverse range of experiences, skills, and interests. We are certain that there will be something for everyone because we are working on such a variety of tasks and embrace individual growth at MOIA.
