About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage team building AI-powered software for the freight and logistics industry. In this customer-facing engineering role, you will work directly with logistics teams to turn operational challenges into reliable production systems.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with logistics teams to understand their workflows and translate needs into system designs.
  • Build full-stack, AI-powered tools using TypeScript and Node.js.
  • Integrate with enterprise systems such as ERP and transport management platforms, and build dependable pipelines for complex data.
  • Shape product direction and technical decisions with the engineering team.
  • Own work from design through deployment, shipping quickly and iterating based on customer feedback.
  • Travel regularly to customer sites across Europe and Asia.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of experience building full-stack applications or backend systems in production, with a record of stable engineering roles.
  • Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills, with experience specifying and shipping products directly with users.
  • Experience designing APIs and integrating enterprise systems, including ERP or transport management platforms.
  • Experience building scalable backend infrastructure and data pipelines, including handling messy or unstructured data.
  • Proficiency with cloud infrastructure tools such as Docker, Terraform, GCP, or AWS.
  • Experience shipping LLM or agent functionality in production; familiarity with RAG, evaluations, orchestration, or prompt engineering is useful.
  • Clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and readiness to work directly with customers and travel regularly.
  • React or another modern frontend framework, logistics or supply chain experience, and experience in an early-stage environment are valued.

Location

Hybrid in Berlin, Germany, with regular travel to customer sites across Europe and Asia.
