You will collaborate with various stakeholders to create an app that optimizes routes for deliveries, ride-sharing, or field services, ensuring cost-effectiveness, time-saving, and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and develop a route optimization application using modern technologies (e.g., Java, Python, Swift, Kotlin, etc.)

- Implement efficient route optimization algorithms (Dijkstra's, A*, etc.) for various modes of transportation (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.)

- Integrate geospatial data (e.g., Google Maps API, Mapbox) and real-time traffic updates

- Collaborate with UI/UX designers to create a user-friendly interface for managing routes, drivers, and tasks

- Develop features for real-time tracking, re-routing, and updates in case of delays, traffic, or other issues

- Conduct performance tuning and scaling of the app for multiple users and large datasets
