Your work will be used by leading global organizations such as ASML, ABN AMRO, and Shell, helping them make smarter, faster, and more sustainable decisions through optimization technology.
Build Backend Services – Design and implement modern C++ microservices and REST APIs.
Bridge to the Frontend – Gradually take on more features in our React portal as your skills grow.

AIMMS: Who We Are (and why it matters)
It all started in 1989, when we saw a huge untapped potential for mathematical optimization.

Today, as a product-led SaaS company, we support industries worldwide—from logistics to sustainability—enabling smarter, faster, and greener choices.
We’re a diverse, collaborative, and curious team of over 20 nationalities, with offices in the Netherlands (Haarlem HQ), the US, and Singapore. Working in a self-organized, hybrid way across the globe, we’re guided by four core values - Integrity, Care, Open, and Ambition - which help us give honest feedback, care deeply for our stakeholders, collaborate across teams, and continuously grow our impact.
How AIMMS made impact:
Our platform was used to build applications that helps state utilities buy electricity from hundreds of power stations, ensuring companies and consumers always have power. We optimize daily and real-time purchasing decisions to minimize costs, maintain network stability, and reliably meet demand.
