Who we are

What we do
RELEX runs the planning decisions behind 600 retailers and manufacturers worldwide deciding at real scale what gets forecast stocked priced promoted and produced across the entire value chain. Few problems combine this much data this much complexity and this much real-world weight: get it right and a shelf stays stocked a factory line doesnt stall food doesnt spoil in a warehouse before its sold. Get it wrong and it shows up in actual losses for some of the largest retail and manufacturing brands in the world.

Weve grown for 76 consecutive quarters straight and its still accelerating. The first half of 2026 was the strongest in the companys history. Were a team of 2000 people headquartered in Helsinki with offices across Europe North America and Asia-Pacific.

In response to our fast growth were looking for a Product Engineer to help reinvent how RELEX builds and ships forecasting models. As a team we own forecasting end to end for our retail and wholesale customers both the new plugin-based models were building and the models already running in production. Were reinventing how RELEX builds and ships forecasting moving from a small number of monolithic models to a growing library of purpose-built plugin-based ones used by 400 to 500 customers. This role sits at the core of that.

• You will design build and improve our plugin-based forecasting models end to end: feature engineering testing and iterating on performance in live customer environments

• You will take forecasting problems from business need to a working model running for a customer with real ownership over the decisions along the way

• You will work directly across multiple customer environments figuring out what generalizes and what needs to stay customer-specific
