Samsara is looking to improve its telematics platform by developing smarter and easier routing solutions that help customers reduce costs, improve safety, and optimize fleet efficiency. This involves tackling complex NP-Hard problems and translating real-world logistical challenges into scalable software for their Routing Platform.
Requirements
- Experience designing and implementing heuristics and metaheuristics for solving NP-Hard problems in production systems.
- Proficiency in code development in a corporate environment with languages such as Go, Java or C++.
- Demonstrated ability to extract formal requirements (e.g., a mathematical formulation) from stakeholder requirements.
- Strong understanding of algorithm design, data structures, and computational complexity.
- Experience with designing and architecting large, high-scale backend systems.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems and cloud computing principles.
- Proven experience specifically with Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) related challenges.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge heuristics and metaheuristics to solve complex NP-Hard optimization problems in production systems.
- Focus on route optimization, vehicle routing problems (VRP), and the traveling salesman problem (TSP), delivering high-impact solutions for our customers.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to extract and formalize requirements, transforming business needs into precise mathematical formulations and technical specifications.
- Write high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code in a corporate environment using languages such as Go, Java or C++.
- Contribute to the design and architecture of large-scale, high-performance backend systems.
- Act as a force multiplier within the team, contributing to technical design discussions and mentoring other engineers.
- Bring a customer-focused mindset to all development, ensuring that technical solutions directly translate into better customer outcomes.
