Senior Full Stack Engineer
Your new company
Portchain is on a mission to solve the hardest problems in container shipping:
The container shipping industry is the backbone of global trade, with 90% of all goods being transported by a container. The industry is, however, fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels are delayed coming into port, and fundamental planning processes are done manually in basic tools and spreadsheets.
Portchain (portchain.com), a Danish SaaS startup founded in 2017, builds AI-powered applications to solve the hardest planning problems in shipping. Backed by prominent investors and $5M in funding, its products are used by several global top-5 container terminals and carrier operators.
The role
Portchain is looking for skilled and independent Senior Full Stack Engineer to join their software engineering team, focused on building a modern and user-friendly platform where users in the shipping industry can make quick decisions and stay informed through organized data.
To achieve this, they use data, mathematical modeling, machine learning, and optimization to help the users get full transparency on their operations and make better decisions.
You will be an essential part of a self-managing but integrated team that builds the features, creates the needed architecture and works hard on creating a good work culture that allows you to work in the best way for you.
The Team
Portchain is a 30-person strong team of nine nationalities, with half the company and most of the engineering team working remotely. The engineering team has an average of nine years of experience, so you will get experienced colleagues to collaborate and learn with.
