Job description

Want to be part of transforming road freight – for good? Einride is showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, electric and autonomous technologies. Through freight capacity as a service, we enable businesses around the world to accelerate towards their sustainability goals.

Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award-winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies.

In this role, you will be joining the Optimization team, the brain behind our intelligent freight management platform for electric vehicles. Our team focuses on developing cutting-edge optimization algorithms that empower efficient routing, scheduling, and charging strategies for our electric fleet. We are looking for an enthusiastic, humble, and creative Optimization Engineer who is passionate about applying their skills to revolutionize the transportation industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.

What you’ll do

Use your algorithmic thinking and mathematical skills to develop creative solutions to hard optimization problems related to electric fleet management.
Collaborate with software engineers to integrate optimization solutions into our electric fleet management platform.
Analyze large datasets to identify trends and patterns that can be used to improve optimization models.
Engage with stakeholders and other teams to gain insights into the current challenges and opportunities for optimization within our freight management platform.

Who you are

Have experience in algorithm design and optimization
Experience with relevant optimization concepts/techniques (metaheuristics, MIP, CP, …)
Enjoy working in a diverse team environment with close collaboration with other engineers and relevant stakeholders
Are comfortable working with different technologies in a modern tech stack (Java, Go, Python, Microservices, GCP, GRPC, …)
A passion for sustainability and making a positive impact on the environment.
Preferred: Familiarity with the transportation and logistics industry

This is a full-time position based in Stockholm or Gothenburg. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible since selection and interviews are held continually.

At Einride, we are innovators, building solutions the world has never seen before – but urgently needs. That’s why we take action, and it’s why we are always eager to be challenged. We know that our best innovations come from having a diverse mix of people, including those of different experiences, career paths, and walks of life. By coming together and sharing our perspectives openly – by disagreeing, discussing, and committing – we deliver greater impact.
