Wat ga je doen

With your sharp analyses and technical skills, you improve one of the most important platforms at the heart of our logistics. Our Smart Shipment Router (SSR) platform determines the best logistical route for millions of packages per day. The platform is developed and continuously optimized by us. Think of changes like a new commercial proposition, an algorithm to predict delivery times, or smarter management of our deliverers.

You translate logistical issues into practical IT solutions that directly contribute to our ambition: we deliver special moments and are a reliable partner. You work in a Scrum team and develop Mendix applications that improve our logistics chain. You experiment with new technologies such as the Mendix Machine Learning Kit and AWS Event Brokers. Together with colleagues from the chain, such as Chain Management and Strategy, you ensure smart solutions that truly make a difference. If something in the platform does not work well, it has immediate major consequences for the deliverers on the street and therefore for the whole of the Netherlands. Your work is therefore super relevant!
