Senior Software Engineer

This is a fully remote role on the Optimization team. The team helps Skedulo customers significantly reduce time spent planning work for deskless workers. This work decreases travel time, increases utilization, and improves productivity.

As a Senior Engineer, you will produce and implement functional software solutions on our Optimization service. You will work in a cross-functional team with Product Managers, Designers, and other Engineers. You will implement key features that drive success for the company. Optimization is essential for scheduling at scale.

Our solution automatically optimizes schedules, freeing up human schedulers to manage exceptions. Optimization is a complex problem. Companies optimize for variables like resource utilization, travel time, cost, and continuity of care. Skedulo can perform this optimization better than humans. Help us advance our optimization capabilities.

Our services use JVM-based languages and we are increasingly adopting TypeScript.
