7Bridges is seeking a highly talented and motivated data engineer
with software experience to build and define how data is used in our
organisation. This is a job for someone who understands that real world
data is messy – you won’t always be dealing with perfect quality,
machine log or API data – the logistics industry, whilst large making up
13% of global GDP, is still heavily reliant on fragmented, cross-border
and often erroneous and inconsistent human entered information that is
loaded into antiquated systems or not even loaded into a system at all,
for example invoices for tens of thousands of pounds are routinely
drafted using only hand-written notes!
7Bridges needs to parse, treat and process this messy and difficult
to access data quickly and accurately to achieve the logistics
automation we know is possible. We’ll do this by coupling modern web
technology with machine learning methods and building automated and
robust data pipelines, bringing this information together for the first
time in the logistics domain. Come help us build a next generation
logistics company and be at the heart of what will make us successful.
