Software Engineer with OptaPlanner

Overview:

experience in OptaPlanner to design, develop, and scale advanced route-planning and optimization systems. This role involves building intelligent schedulers, routing engines, and constraint-based optimization solutions using OptaPlanner, Java, Spring Boot, and Google Cloud Platform.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing complex optimization models, integrating solver engines into microservices, and implementing Domain Driven Design (DDD) in scalable architectures.

Key Responsibilities

OptaPlanner Development

• Design and implement route planning, scheduling, and optimization solutions using OptaPlanner.

• Build planning entities, problem facts, score rules, and constraint streams.

• Develop optimization models for routing, logistics, workforce allocation, or transportation workflows.

• Tune solver configuration, benchmarking, and performance optimization.

Backend Engineering / Microservices

• Design and develop Spring Boot microservices following DDD principles.

• Build scalable REST APIs to expose optimization engines.

• Integrate OptaPlanner with existing Java-based services and business workflows.

Architecture & Cloud

• Architect distributed systems on Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform).

• Implement event-driven and microservices patterns.

• Ensure scalability, security, and high availability of optimization workloads.

Database & Persistence

• Work with relational databases, especially PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with OptaPlanner (Mandatory).

• Implementation experience in route planning, scheduling, logistics, or optimization use cases.

• Proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and REST API development.

• Strong understanding of Microservices architecture and Domain Driven Design (DDD).

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, GKE, Cloud SQL, etc.).

• Proficiency in SQL databases, preferably PostgreSQL.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to translate business rules into constraint models.
