Engineering Manager - CORE (f/m/d)

Job description

In the 1950s, global trade changed for good. The invention of the standardized container suddenly meant that transporting goods across the world became affordable. And with that, paved the way for globalization and global wealth. But contrary to the container, most surrounding processes have not been standardized nor innovated and are still frustratingly complex, manual, and error-prone.

That s why our ambition is to use technology to simplify the logistics of global trade, making the processes around the container as simple as the container itself. We do that by providing a neutral infrastructure that connects all logistics companies to remove friction and create economic opportunity.

Engineering Manager - CORE (f/m/d)

Our Engineering teams build the product suite to lay a new digital infrastructure for container operations globally. Seeing great success in our first products already, this shows the scale by which we want to change the industry.
