How do I become a Senior Algorithm Engineer at Coolblue?
As a Senior Algorithm Engineer, you work on smart algorithms that help our delivery vans drive in the most efficient way. You develop, improve and maintain these algorithms together with your team. You're close to the operation, so your solutions match exactly what’s needed on the road. That’s how you make an immediate impact on Coolblue’s delivery service. You collaborate closely with developers and the Product Owner. You translate business questions into clever, practical solutions. This way, you make our route planning a little bit better every day.
You enjoy doing this
- developing algorithms that improve Coolblue’s logistics, like route planning.
- writing clean, scalable code that's easy to understand.
- sparring with Domain, Development, and Operations colleagues.
- explaining complex logic in simple terms to non-tech stakeholders.
- designing and building new features
- improving systems step by step without reinventing the wheel.
- Coach your team members on their technical and soft skills and provide them with feedback to help them get a little better every day
