Jobbeschreibung

What's the role?

About the team: Join us in tackling one of the most fascinating challenges in logistics: the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP).

HERE Tour planning is the engine behind multi-vehicle route optimization, empowering businesses to design smarter, faster, and more driver-friendly tours.

We harness the world’s most precise and up-to-date map data, real-time traffic insights, road restrictions, and driver preferences to craft tours that are both efficient and practical. Our mission? To transform complexity into clarity, delivering solutions that reduce travel time, cut costs, and keep logistics running like clockwork.

But we don’t stop at optimization. Our algorithms factor in every critical detail, driver preferences, delivery time windows, vehicle capacities, and compliance requirements to ensure that every plan isn’t just efficient but also adheres to required constraints. This holistic approach drives cost savings, delivery accuracy, and driver satisfaction while ensuring operations remain sustainable and compliant. If you’re passionate about solving real-world problems at scale, developing sophisticated algorithms, and pushing the boundaries of logistics technology, this is your opportunity to shine.
