The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can EcoThreads optimize its daily delivery routes to minimize costs and emissions while meeting service level agreements?
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Formulate and solve a vehicle routing problem with multiple objectives
- Apply prescriptive analytics to logistics and supply chain decisions
- Implement optimization algorithms in Python
- Evaluate trade-offs between operational efficiency and sustainability
