We are looking for .Net developer to join our organization.

This opening is in ISC EMEA organization. ISC EMEA is 200+ people organization that provides IT solutions to 69 countries from EMEA region of Kuehne+Nagel. We work directly with our logistics business on the ground. We identify end users’ needs and deliver solutions to them. We feel, live and act as business decision makers. We chose not to be people who see their goal in building software. We chose to be people who see their goal in solving business problems by means of technology. We invest lot of our time and energy into learning ins and outs of our company’s and our industry’s business, ins and outs of our customers’ (both internal and external) needs. We take the pride, as well as responsibility, for influencing operational business not only via software we build but also via advanced technology vision that we share and educate on our partners in Kuehne+Nagel.

It is argued that logistics industry is the next one on the list for major changes in how it operates due to technology advancements: data availability, data connectivity, real-time decision making, real-time algorithmic optimizations, internet of things, data-driven supply chains, artificial intelligence, etc. Several weeks ago Kuehne+Nagel publicly announced new 5-years strategy - KN+NextGen. It clearly states that our organization believes that this is the right timing for such a change. We have a strong ambition to spearhead this change in the boundaries of our industry.

As a result, ISC EMEA sees the clear need to build, what we call, Algorithmic Logistics competence to map our advanced technology vision to actually available knowledge, competence and skills. We define Algorithmic Logistics to be a lens through which freight forwarding and logistics business are approached as the problem of building algorithms focused on real-time, multi-dimensional optimization of moving goods from point A to point B based on real-time data. Our partners currently find another definition to be less academic and more appealing: Algorithmic Logistics is about making machines to do things that for experienced freight forwarder was always thought to be an exclusive prerogative of humans.

If you feel that your expertise, skills and knowledge could be applied in the context described above please let us know by applying! If you are machine learning engineer, data scientist, mathematician, software engineer with experience in building real-time decision making/decision support systems, if you have experience in the Internet of Things, or any other expertise that you believe we must have to be successful in Algorithmic Logistics – please apply!

As we believe that Algorithmic Logistics related competence will be in a huge demand, once our partners get the first tastes of benefits coming from this world, we are also looking for a person who could take the ownership for strategically growing and developing such competence within ISC EMEA organization.

Please note that this area is not absolutely new to us. For example, Vice President responsible for establishing Algorithmic Logistics competence has the academic degree in Artificial Intelligence with major in Machine Learning, and before joining Kuehne+Nagel he worked as a data scientist in a major international financial conglomerate.
