At Flix, we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact, with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a culture of collaboration and ownership.  

As an Operations Research Engineer in our Supply Division, you’ll play a crucial role in developing products powered by optimization algorithms that enable our network planners to design smarter, more efficient networks. Your work will directly shape how well supply meets demand and how effectively our vehicles and crews are planned — helping millions of passengers reach their destinations smoothly while improving our network’s overall performance and profitability. 

Our team creates and maintains an innovative product to tackle a wide range of use cases, from seasonality planning to timetable optimization, while considering network-wide demand forecasts to ensure optimal alignment of supply and demand.  

We work closely with our data-savvy internal stakeholders to ensure our product aligns perfectly with their needs - work that helped Flix win the GOR Company Award 2024 for excellence in Operations Research. 

Join our cross-functional team, which includes Operations Research Engineers, Software Engineers, a Product Owner and an Engineering Manager.

About the Role

• Design, test, and enhance optimization models and metaheuristic algorithms  for our network planning use-cases


• Prepare and analyze data to inform model design and evaluate algorithm results, ensuring validity and practical relevance


• Develop and implement these algorithms in clean, readable, efficient, and production-ready code, actively contributing to code reviews


• Balance algorithm complexity with practical implementation, progressing incrementally using an agile inspect-and-adapt approach


• Collaborate closely within the team to achieve our goals together


• Engage regularly with stakeholders and end users to gain deep domain knowledge


• Participate in problem exploration and discovery with users to inform solution  design


• Share your expertise, work, and results at various levels, promoting a culture of continuous knowledge sharing 

About You
