6 years ago during university I participated in a Coding Challenge for Vehicle Routing Problems. I really like TSP and VRP related problems. I tinkered on my algorithm in the evenings to make it faster, consider more edge cases, produce better solutions etc. It was a really rewarding work because every time you change something you can run it and can see if your thinking was right and improved the result. The goal was to find the shortest time to serve all customers, so the result was basically a number indicating total time. Number goes down = win.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything in my professional career so far that I really liked :(

Same. Web development is so boring.

There are some jobs for agent planning using discrete / continuous (boundary value problem/mpc) / hybrid approaches, in autonomous driving and other related fields (e.g. drones). Sometimes single agent, but multi agent problems are also hot stuff

That'd be in academia mostly however. If you're interested you can always look for some papers and see whether the chairs of the authors are recruiting
