Backend Engineer - Python

We're Getir, the pioneers of super fast delivery. Our founding idea: Groceries in minutes, delivered to your door through our app. Now offering more delivery models across different locations, our goals are made possible by our one-of-a-kind business model with our unique technology at its core. Our rapidly growing environment is the perfect opportunity to take initiative and create your legacy.

Description

At Algorithms Team, we are responsible for making the business (over all domains) as efficient as possible. Joining the Algorithms Team, you will have a chance to modify or create a better version of every high frequency real time decision making system at Getir. You will be joining a top talent team who challenges conventional thinking and always looking for better/faster ways to solve an existing problem. Brainstorming is an important activity for us and we are always open and seeking when it comes to modern open source frameworks or a recently published paper that we think is applicable to our problems. All the data you need is there with thousands of couriers roaming around the city and dozens of orders incoming within a single minute. We always try to make a better version of ourselves by trying out new policies, constraints and methodologies that we test on self-made simulations before we go live!

What Youll Be Doing?

• Design and create scalable real-time decision making systems such as real-time vehicle routing, distance/duration services
• Grasp the current business objectives of Getir and try to adjust everything according to these metrics
• Identify current missing points in our systems and come up with a proposal about the fix, knowing that optimizational bugs are very hard to detect
• Ensure the designed and implemented services are scalable, reliable, and optimized for high-frequency decision-making.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align optimization models with business metrics

What Youll Bring?

• Solid background in data structures/algorithms and discrete maths
• Curiosity about the inner arithmetics of route optimization
• Ideally 2+ years of Python backend, real-time decision making microservices experience is a big plus
• Familiarity with optimization tools (e.g., Google OR-Tools, Gurobi, CPLEX) and techniques.
• Ability to create robust, scalable APIs for real-time applications.
• Self-motivation to work in a high-paced startup environment
• Ability to balance between quality of work and pragmatic quick solutions with a sense of urgency
• Technical English proficiency is a must
• Bachelors degree ideally in a highly quantitative discipline

Preferred Skills

• Expertise in solving combinatorial problems like vehicle routing or assignment problems.
• Knowledge of distributed computing frameworks and performance optimization.
• Experience with geospatial data and tools for distance calculation (e.g., Haversine formula).
• Familiarity with testing frameworks for simulation-based optimization.
• Strong curiosity for new methods and tools to push the boundaries of system performance.

Benefits

• Hybrid working model
• Once-in-a-career opportunity to make an impact in one of the fastest-growing mobile-commerce businesses in the world.
• Take charge of your own career growth with us through professional development opportunities! We really mean it when we say that upward and sideways mobility are some of our favorite terms.
• Health insurance (family included)
• Meal card
