That's a Traveling Salesman Problem at massive scale, and it's what the Routing Team solves, live, in production. As a Senior Backend Engineer, your code doesn't sit in a backlog. It ships, and the next day it's already changing distribution costs, delivery accuracy, and the experience of thousands of customers. The team You'll join a small, senior, highly collaborative squad: three backend developers, one frontend developer, two algorithm engineers, one ML engineer, an Engineering Manager, a Product Manager, and a Staff Engineer.
