Software Developer, Operations Research

Kinaxis is a global leader in supply chain orchestration. Operations Research Software Developers create algorithms to optimize supply chains using C++ and mathematical solvers. The role involves investigating novel techniques, translating use cases into mathematical models, and collaborating with agile teams.

• Investigate novel techniques combining class leading heuristics with optimization
• Translate real world Supply Chain Management use cases into mathematical model
• Lead the design and implementation of the mathematical model
• Define test strategies and develop comprehensive test plans
• Write unit testing, integration testing, and debugging to ensure robust and error-free software
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for functional, regression, and performance testing using testing frameworks and tools
• Collaborate closely with your agile team members and other stakeholders
• Shape the future direction of Kinaxis as we move into new markets

• MSc or PhD in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science (or related)
• 3+ years of software development experience, track record of delivering commercial software
• Working knowledge of C++, including object-oriented design and design patterns, unit testing
• A love of data structures and algorithms, and the desire to apply them in the real world
• Experience in creating mathematical models of real-world optimization problems
• Experience in commercial solvers (Gurobi, Xpress, CPLEX)
• Ability to design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for functional, regression, and performance testing using testing frameworks and tools
• Ability to find opportunities to accelerate the SDLC through innovative application of AI or other tooling, while upholding architecture consistency, secure design, and code- quality standards
• Ability to review AI-generated code rigorously for correctness, architectural fit, integration risk, and edge case support with a growth mindset and bias for experimentation
• Nice to have knowledge in machine learning models and algorithms
• Nice to have knowledge of Supply Chain Management (Demand Planning, MRP, S&OP, Capacity Planning)

• Flexible vacation and Kinaxis Days (company-wide days off)
• Flexible work options
• Physical and mental well-being programs
• Regularly scheduled virtual fitness classes
• Mentorship programs, training, and career development
• Recognition programs and referral rewards
• Hackathons
