About the team Production Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling, and optimizing work and workloads in a manufacturing environment.

Kinaxis Enterprise Schedulingunifies production planning and detailed scheduling on a single, concurrent platform—allowing planners and schedulers to immediately understand the impact of demand and supply changes, from long-term plans down to the shop floor schedule.

The Enterprise Scheduling team builds and scales an enterprise-grade scheduling application with the flexibility of a site-level scheduler. We focus on developingfast, scalable algorithms, applying heuristic and optimization techniques where they deliver the most value, and ensuring our solutions are configurable, extensible, and production-ready. Our challenges are complex, our data is large, and our customers rely on us to deliver correctness, performance, and explainability ancy Status This is an existing job vacancy What you will doAs a Senior Algorithm Developer, you will contribute across thefull lifecycle of algorithm backed product development, working at the intersection of real-world scheduling problems and enterprise software delivery.
