Location: Anywhere between the time zones UTC-1 and UTC+3 and/or hybrid role: remote and in-person at our Potsdam, Germany HQ
About the role
You’ll team up with two world class routing engineers to form a dedicated Routing team. You’ll dive deep into new markets to understand their local cycling infrastructure, road surface classification and trail difficulty rating and combine all these insights and many more into clear requirements that are ready to be implemented.
You’ll work on projects like adjusting our routing rules to take into account local traffic regulations or incorporating unique data sources like popularity data to find the most scenic roads for every sport. Together you’ll build up a system to gather continuous feedback from our users and use these insights to validate changes in our routing algorithms.
