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.

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.
