[Hiring] Optimization Engineer @ALICE Technologies

1wk ago - ALICE Technologies is hiring a remote Optimization Engineer. 💸 Salary: unspecified 📍Location: Czech Republic

Role Description

As an Optimization Engineer, you will join the team that owns ALICE's scheduling engine—the algorithmic core that turns complex, resource-constrained construction projects into optimized schedules. You will design, implement, and productionize optimization models that solve large-scale combinatorial problems. This role is ideal for an engineer who loves hard mathematical challenges but possesses the discipline to turn research-grade ideas into fast, robust, production software.

Your Responsibilities

  • Model & Design: Formulate and implement optimization models (MIP, CP, and custom heuristics) for resource-constrained scheduling problems.
  • End-to-End Ownership: Take algorithms from mathematical formulation and prototyping through to benchmarking, tuning, and production delivery.
  • Scale & Performance: Profile and improve the speed, scalability, and robustness of the scheduling engine on real-world customer projects.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product and software engineering teams to translate real-world construction workflows into precise technical requirements.
  • Code Craftsmanship: Maintain high engineering standards through code reviews, rigorous testing, and continuous architectural improvement.

Qualifications

  • Master’s or PhD in Operations Research, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Strong proficiency formulating Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) and Constraint Programming (CP) models.
  • Hands-on experience with solvers like Gurobi, CPLEX, OR-Tools, or Hexaly.
  • Professional experience building and maintaining software used by real customers.
  • Professional fluency in English.

Requirements

  • Academic or industry experience specifically tackling intractable resource-constrained scheduling problems.
  • Experience with JVM-based optimization libraries (e.g., OptaPlanner/Timefold, OR-Tools Java API).
  • Experience building production services on the JVM (Spring Boot, Maven/Gradle, containerized deployments).
  • Strong background in Agile methodologies and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
  • Proficiency in modern Java.

Benefits

  • High Impact: We are a lean, well-funded team where your work directly shapes the core product and company trajectory.
  • Growth Opportunities: Rapid organizational growth means fast-tracked professional development and career progression.
  • Category-Defining Product: Work on cutting-edge AI transforming one of the world's largest and most vital legacy industries.
  • Total Rewards: Competitive salary, equity options for all employees, comprehensive health insurance, and a generous vacation policy.
  • Location: Preferably Prague, Czech Republic, but remote is also possible.
