Job Description

About the Role

Join an early-stage freight and logistics technology team as a customer-facing engineer. You will work directly with logistics teams to turn operational challenges into reliable, AI-powered products, partnering closely with engineering from discovery through deployment.

What You'll Do

  • Work with logistics teams to understand their workflows and translate customer needs into system designs.
  • Build full-stack tools using TypeScript and Node.js, with React where appropriate.
  • Integrate enterprise systems such as ERP and transport management platforms, APIs, SFTP, and event queues.
  • Develop reliable data pipelines for messy information from multiple sources.
  • Help shape product direction and technical decisions with the engineering team.
  • Own work from initial design through production deployment, iterating quickly based on user 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, plus experience designing APIs and integrating external and enterprise systems.
  • Experience specifying and shipping products directly with users, and building backend infrastructure that can scale.
  • Production experience delivering LLM or agent functionality, such as RAG, evaluations, or orchestration.
  • Familiarity with Docker, Terraform, GCP, or AWS, and building data pipelines for unstructured or inconsistent data.
  • Clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and comfort working with autonomy in an early-stage environment.
  • React or another modern frontend framework is a plus. Logistics, supply chain, or operations experience is also beneficial.

Compensation & Benefits

Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

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