About the Role
This is a forward deployed engineering role at an early-stage AI startup building purpose-built automation for the sea and air freight industry. You will sit between logistics operations teams and the founding engineering team, translating real-world customer workflows into production software. The work is high-stakes, customer-facing, and central to how the product evolves.
What You'll Do
Partner directly with logistics teams to understand their workflows and translate operational needs into system design.
Build fast, AI-powered tools across the full stack using Node.js and TypeScript.
Integrate with enterprise ecosystems including ERP, TMS, SFTP, and event queues, and construct reliable data pipelines for messy, real-world data.
Shape product direction and technical decisions alongside a small founding team.
Travel regularly to key customer accounts across Europe and Asia to maintain close relationships.
Write clean, production-ready code and own outcomes end-to-end from design through deployment.
What We're Looking For
3 or more years building full-stack applications or backend systems in production environments.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js; React or another modern frontend framework is a plus.
Proven experience designing and integrating with enterprise systems such as ERPs, TMSs, and external APIs.
Experience building and maintaining data pipelines handling unstructured or multi-source data.
Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure tools such as Docker, Terraform, GCP, or AWS.
Comfort working in high-autonomy, early-stage environments with full ownership of outcomes.
Clear, effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Willingness and ability to travel regularly to customer sites in Europe and Asia.
Familiarity with GenAI or LLM architectures (RAG, evals, orchestration) is a bonus.
Background in logistics, supply chain, or operations is a plus but not required.
Location
Berlin, Germany. Hybrid work arrangement with regular travel to customer sites in Europe and Asia.

Employer filing history
Unavailable
We couldn't confidently match this employer to a verified U.S. filing entity, so reliable H-1B and PERM history isn't available yet.
Filing history reflects past employer behavior; it isn't a promise for this opening.
All open roles at CleraHow Openbound evaluates sponsorship
Visa history uses official U.S. Department of Labor H-1B LCA disclosure data and USCIS H-1B petition history. Green card history uses DOL PERM disclosure data. Each is read for the employer as a whole, for roles like this one, and for this location, weighted toward the most recent fiscal years.
An employer is matched to its filing entities by verified legal name and reviewed aliases; a match is never made on a name resemblance alone. Where no verified entity can be matched, the page says so and draws no conclusion from the absence.
What this posting states outranks history in both directions, and an employer's published policy outranks past filings. Filing history reflects past behavior; it is not a promise of sponsorship for this opening, and none of this is legal advice.
