Algorithm Engineer to our Route Optimization Team

About us

In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.

We’re fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we’re now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.

Some of the things you’ll do:

Do you enjoy thinking about computationally difficult problems? Would you enjoy working in a team whose primary task is finding good approximations to problems like TSP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem) and VRP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_routing_problem)? Then this may be the job for you! The Route Optimization team calculates the best routes for our delivery vehicles to travel to give all our customers the service they have come to expect from us.

What We're Looking For

We think you are a passionate problem solver, eager to learn and to work in the borderlands between academic research and practical applications. You are an experienced software developer used to working in a team environment.

Most likely you will have multiple years of experience in Java programming, and some type of documented experience with combinatorial optimization and/or complexity theory.

You are, or can become, comfortable with reading and discussing research papers.

It’s beneficial if you have experience in one or more of the following: Python, GCP, Terraform, AWS, Ignite, Git, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes.

If this is you, we really can’t wait to meet you!

What you’ll get

We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like changes and want to set new processes and ways of working - this is the place for you!

Of course, we have all the necessary and standard benefits in place, but in addition to this, we can also offer:

Sky-High Office: Modern and newly renovated with a 360-degree view around Stockholm.
