About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage logistics technology team building AI-powered tools for freight operations. You will work directly with customer teams and engineers to turn complex operational workflows into reliable production software.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Work with logistics teams to understand their workflows and translate needs into system designs.
- Build full-stack tools using TypeScript and Node.js, with a focus on AI-powered applications.
- Integrate with enterprise systems such as ERP and TMS platforms, APIs, SFTP, and event queues.
- Build reliable data pipelines for information from varied and unstructured sources.
- Partner with engineering leadership to shape product direction and technical decisions.
- Own work from discovery and design through deployment, then iterate 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.
- Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills, with experience designing APIs and scalable backend infrastructure.
- Experience shipping production-grade AI agents or applications using LLM architectures, such as RAG, evaluations, or orchestration.
- Demonstrated ownership of customer-facing products from user discovery and specification through delivery.
- Experience integrating enterprise systems and building pipelines that handle messy data from multiple sources.
- Familiarity with Docker, Terraform, GCP, or AWS; React or another modern frontend framework is a plus.
- Ability to work with autonomy, communicate across technical and non-technical teams, and maintain consistent engineering tenure.
- Logistics, supply chain, or operations experience is helpful.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
