Senior Software Engineer

Your new company

Portchain is hiring a skilled Senior Software Engineer to join a new team focused on building a cutting-edge SaaS platform for the shipping industry. The container shipping industry is vital to global trade, handling 90% of all goods transported by container. Yet, it struggles with inefficiencies. 50% of container vessels are delayed at ports, and essential planning processes often rely on manual methods like basic tools and spreadsheets. Portchain is transforming this space with cloud-based solutions tailored for the shipping industry. Their innovative products optimize berth and schedule operations for carriers and terminals by leveraging predictive analytics, real-time updates, and data sharing. This technology enhances berth alignment, improves collaboration, and promotes sustainability by enabling Just-In-Time (JIT) arrivals, reducing fuel consumption, and cutting carbon emissions. In the last 12 months alone, Portchain's solutions have prevented over 194,000 tons of CO2 emissions! With a global reach, Portchain has already onboarded a significant portion of the world’s container terminals and secured more than $10M in funding.
