Operations Research Software

Developers at Kinaxis create algorithms to optimize supply chains. Each one of us plays an important part in accomplishing our work, building our culture, and making a global impact. Every day, we are empowered to work together to help our customers make fast, confident planning decisions.

This is how we create a better planet – for each other, for our customers and for generations to come. Our cloud-based platform Maestro ensures that the products we need – everything from medicine and cars to day-to-day items like toothpaste – make it to market and into our hands when we need them with minimal ecological footprint. Our customers have terabytes of data that needs to be analyzed for the largest supply chains imaginable.

It’s Big Data with an impact Gartner Report Investigate novel techniques combining class leading heuristics with optimization Lead the design and implementation of the mathematical model Define test strategies and develop comprehensive test plans. Write unit testing, integration testing, and debugging to ensure robust and error-free software. Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for functional, regression, and performance testing using testing frameworks and tools.

Collaborate closely with your agile team members and other stakeholders C++ for core development Commercial mathematical solvers Maestro’s market leading in-memory data server technology Sophisticated internal testing tools to validate correctness and performance Virtual and cloud infrastructure for development, support and testing Core implementation

Core implementation is primarily in C++, but we value strong algorithmic thinkers who are proficient in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., C++, C#, Python) and willing to work across language boundaries. MSc or PhD in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science (or related) 3+ years of software development experience, track record of delivering commercial software Working knowledge of C++, including object-oriented design and design patterns, unit testing A love of data structures and algorithms, and the desire to apply them in the real world Experience in commercial solvers (Gurobi, Xpress, CPLEX) Ability to design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for functional, regression, and performance testing using testing frameworks and tools. Ability to find opportunities to accelerate the SDLC through innovative application of AI or other tooling, while upholding architecture consistency, secure design, and code- quality standards.

Ability to review AI-generated code rigorously for correctness, architectural fit, integration risk, and edge case support with a growth mindset and bias for experimentation. Nice to have knowledge in machine learning models and algorithms Nice to have knowledge of Supply Chain Management (Demand Planning, MRP, S&OP, Capacity Planning) Flexible vacation and Kinaxis Days (company-wide days off) Flexible work options Regularly scheduled virtual fitness classes Mentorship programs, training, and career development Kinaxis welcomes candidates to apply to our inclusive community.
