About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Embed with operations teams and internal stakeholders, typically for a few months at a time, to understand complex freight and supply-chain workflows.
  • Translate loosely defined business problems into clear technical solutions, deciding when to extend existing functionality and when to build new.
  • Turn manual, spreadsheet and inbox-based decisions into platform logic that can be automated and, over time, increasingly handled by AI.
  • Build and deploy prototypes, automations and production-ready features, integrating with internal Zencargo services, carrier platforms and third-party APIs.
  • Use AI and modern development tools both to accelerate delivery and as a core part of the solutions you build.
  • Work with structured and unstructured data, including emails, documents, purchase orders, shipment data and operational events.
  • Test and measure solutions against real workflows and user feedback, looking for reduced manual effort, better accuracy, faster processing and a smoother-running business.
  • Identify patterns across problems and help convert them into reusable platform functionality.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design and core Engineering, and with our Data and Infrastructure teams who will support your builds, while retaining ownership of delivery.
  • Communicate technical decisions, limitations and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, up to executive level.
  • Maintain appropriate standards for security, reliability, data protection and maintainability, and support solutions through implementation and early adoptions

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Strong professional software engineering experience across the full lifecycle, comfortable taking a problem from discovery through to independently building, deploying and running it in production.
  • Strong skills in at least one modern programming language, such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Kotlin or C#. Some familiarity with Kotlin or Python, our primary languages, is valued but not essential.
  • Experience building and consuming APIs, webhooks and system integrations.
  • Experience working with databases, data models and event-driven workflows.
  • Fluent use of AI-assisted development tools as a core part of how you build. This is essential to the role.
  • Strong product judgement: understands unfamiliar business processes quickly, embeds with a team to distil what matters, and separates the immediate user request from the underlying problem.
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity and making sensible decisions without waiting for perfect requirements, with a bias toward action, experimentation and iterative delivery.
  • Confidence working directly with operational users and senior stakeholders, collaborating across Product, Design, Engineering and our Data and Infrastructure teams, and explaining technical concepts in clear, practical language.
  • Strong ownership, including responsibility for whether the solution achieves the intended outcome rather than only whether the code was delivered.
  • Good understanding of software quality, observability, testing, security and maintainable architecture.
  • Experience in freight, logistics or supply chain, or in another B2B SaaS or operational technology environment is a plus.
  • Experience building workflow automation or orchestration, for example with tools such as n8n is a plus.
  • Experience with large language model applications and unstructured-data problems such as document extraction or email classification is a plus.
  • Experience integrating with ERP, transport-management, warehouse-management or internal operational systems is a plus.
  • Experience in a solutions engineering, implementation, internal-tools or forward-deployed role, including taking bespoke solutions and turning them into product is a plus.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD and production support, ideally in an early-stage or high-growth environment is a plus.
