RELEX Solutions is at the forefront of developing data-driven supply chain and retail planning software. Our innovative platforms have the capacity to enhance adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability within the consumer goods and retail value chain. Our work makes a tangible impact, reducing waste, boosting profitability, and delivering value to our customers through our powerful software platform.
Technology at RELEX
The RELEX Price and Promotion application runs cloud-native on Google Cloud Platform and is a mix of Golang backend services and a Typescript/React single-page application. True Gophers will appreciate that our data platform also runs using Golang and Cadence/Temporal workflows, ingesting and enriching millions of rows of raw customer data into a hybrid data layer driven by ClickHouse and Postgres. We serve these enormous data sets and sales forecasts through a mix of pre-calculated and on-the-fly analytics that must be both user-friendly and responsive.
To help you achieve this, we have assembled an extraordinary team of engineers, backed up by the best in product and design. We value velocity, continuous delivery, and impeccable quality, which we believe can only be accomplished by high-functioning teams made up of diverse talent, managed with humanity and respect. We believe that leaders eat last and expect you to as well.
We offer flexibility in our work arrangements, allowing you to choose between remote or in-office work. Respect and collaboration are core to our culture, and we prioritise a genuine work-life balance while ensuring we deliver an exceptional product.
