The team acts self-managed and is user-oriented, so that every member can shape the product to be developed in a meaningful way. The team improves operational processes at DPDHL with Operation Research and Machine Learning approaches. As a Software Engineer (m/f/x) you will put your emphasis on the technical aspects of robust, scalable, maintainable, secure, modular software design and implementation, while data science colleagues in the team focus more on the algorithmic and mathematical optimization challenges.
