What you'll do
- Turn complex optimization systems into software planners can actually use
- Build Python services, APIs, data models, and pipelines around the optimization engine
- Make schedules, bottlenecks, dependencies, and alternative decisions understandable and interactive

- Own CI/CD, containers, deployment, observability, and the supporting services
- Grow into leading software engineering at planqor.ai as we scale: hiring, mentoring, and setting direction
- Set your own priorities and structure your work toward clear goals
What we're looking for
- Strong Python and backend engineering; comfortable designing APIs, services, libraries, and maintainable system boundaries
- Full-stack product skills; can work with TypeScript, React, or similar technologies and build interfaces that make complex systems understandable
- Data and integration: can design data models and pipelines, work with databases, and connect messy external systems to clean internal interfaces
- Systems thinking: how data, algorithms, product, and infrastructure fit together
- Infrastructure fundamentals: comfortable with Docker, CI/CD, deployment, observability, and operating services
- Independence: can turn an underspecified operational problem into working software without waiting for a detailed spec
- Fluent English
Nice to have

About planqor.ai
planqor.ai was born on the shop floor. The founding team brings deep production expertise and strong industry networks. We are building the layer that takes over when the plan gets disrupted: it connects to factory data, models production, detects disruptions and bottlenecks as they emerge, simulates responses and recommends the best one.
Key facts
- Born on the shop floor
- Co-founded by senior production experts
- In stealth and very early
- Backed by investors who have built and scaled successful companies
- Combines deep algorithmic and software-engineering competence with modern optimization methods, GenAI-assisted development and fast, pragmatic iteration
What they value
- There are no points for cleverness. The simplest system that reliably solves the real problem wins
- We care about building systems that are easy to integrate, responsive, understandable, and maintainable
- No ticket queue, no micromanagement
