7Bridges is seeking a highly talented and motivated backend engineer
with software experience to help build a new generation of logistics
application.
You won't merely be handed specs: you'll be in charge of taking ideas
from the whiteboard all the way through to them being live, tracking
the results, and iterating to make them better. For this reason, this
role is only suitable for someone who likes being closely involved in
product — what to build and how it will work, as much as the technical
implementation itself.
This role is especially suited to someone who wants to found their
own startup one day. All of our current team are future founders and we
view working here as an entrepreneurial bootcamp that will give you the
necessary skills and experience to launch your own company in the
future.
We’re lucky to already have a number of exceptional developers on the
team which you’ll get to work alongside, learn from and no doubt teach.
Our co-founder/CTO has been working in this capacity for almost 20
years now across many start ups in London and San Francisco and both
business founders are also highly technical.
Beyond this, you'll get the chance to demonstrate your deep technical
ability by tackling some hard technical challenges such as
recommendation algorithms and machine learning. We releasing many times
per week so your cool new features will be live on the site within
moments.
What We're Building
The logistics industry has seen a significant improvement in
infrastructure and technology in recent years and ever more services are
being brought online, raising the hopes of a step change in the way
businesses and consumers move goods around the world. However, it
significantly lags behind all other major industries in one key area:
continually optimising the use of assets and operations. As a result,
logistics costs are needlessly high and the customer experience poor.
The vast majority of businesses have wasteful and expensive logistics
operations. 7Bridges’ mission is to optimise logistics for everyone,
making more efficient use of resources and improving the service that
our customers receive. This can only be achieved through the combination
of machine learning or artificial intelligence and far reaching
automation of the industry.
