In this role, you’ll use your expertise to design, build, and optimize systems that streamline our logistics business, ensuring that our services are fast, efficient, and tailored to the needs of those we serve. Your work will directly impact the customer journey, enhancing their experience from the moment they place a transport order to the point of delivery.

Drive and ensure best practices within your team and help push technology in the teams forward.
Implement code in C# .Net of high quality, and actively seek to improve quality of existing code.
Apply SOLID principles and help others to achieve them.
Use microservice architecture whenever possible which leverages reusable components.
Engage, coordinate, and collaborate activities within and across agile teams.

To get a better feeling of the job we have asked one of our Senior Software Engineers to say a few words about how it is to work in the Logistics Tribe:
“I am a Backend Developer in the operational area of the Logistics Tribe, and I love it. I specifically chose to work in Logistics due to the complex domain and the challenges that come with it in the technical world. That provides me with the context I need to grow professionally and personally. We never run out of challenges, we work hard, and we always remember to have fun on the way and celebrate our successes. Beyond everything, I am thankful for the people I have met in this workplace, which for me, is one of the best ingredients to my job recipe."
