About the role

Job Description: We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to embed directly with customers on IFS PSO, our enterprise scheduling and optimization platform (.NET 10/C# backend, Angular frontend) used to solve complex resource planning and scheduling problems at scale. This is a hands-on technical role that combines software engineering, applied optimization and direct customer engagement. You will sit at the intersection of our optimization engine and our customers: modeling real-world planning problems, and shipping working solutions fast, embedded with customer teams under tight deadlines.

Job Details

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with customers to translate real-world scheduling and planning problems into optimization models
  • Configure, extend, and debug the core scheduling engine and related components against live customer datasets
  • Build and iterate on new solutions with customer teams, often under tight deadlines
  • Feed field learnings back to core product and engineering teams to improve the platform

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering background, ideally C#/.NET
  • Hands-on experience with optimization techniques, constraint programming, mathematical/linear programming, or algorithm development
  • Comfortable working directly with customers: gathering requirements, explaining trade-offs, and presenting results
  • Bias toward shipping, with willingness to develop and iterate quickly under ambiguity
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
