Site Reliability Engineer

At Wiremind, our goal since we started in 2014 is to create optimization systems for the transport, logistics, sports and hospitality industries, without compromising on user experience. We build solutions that blend great design with modern technologies (Deep Learning) to process vast quantities of data.

Every day, we handle a broad range of problems from forecasting the demand for railway passengers, calculating the optimal way to fill an aircraft pallet with boxes of multiple dimensions, 3D modelisations, etc.

Our applications are used daily by hundreds of users among the largest players of each industry (railway companies, airlines, etc.) in many countries and several continents. We are now a team of 40+, and growing about +100% every 18 months.
Our business model is built on “software-as-a-service” solutions licensed through long-term contracts, allowing our growth to be based on strong profitability – without requiring any fundraising.
