ABOUT US

What if your work could drive change in a globally established industry, shaping processes that touch every corner of the world? At Forto, we are at the forefront of change, harnessing the power of AI to revolutionise logistics. We want to reinvent digital supply chains to be transparent, frictionless and sustainable. From day one, our mission has been to simplify global trade – creating a seamless and efficient logistics process.

Your role & Mission

The mission of the Flash team at Forto is to fundamentally redesign operations processes by leveraging automation and intelligent decision-making to handle shipments more efficiently. We aim to scale CoPilot so that it becomes the primary system used by operations managers, enabling them to be more effective and efficient in their daily work.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Flash team, you will help build AI-driven solutions and the CoPilot that powers our logistics operations. You will maintain and evolve a sophisticated event-driven, distributed architecture designed to answer one key question:

How do we improve shipment handling and bring efficiency to our operations teams at scale?

From quotation and rate management, to shipment execution and schedule optimization (capacity utilization and GP optimization), to carrier integrations and automated data extraction from unstructured sources (emails, PDFs, spreadsheets), this role focuses on building reliable, data-heavy systems that directly impact revenue and operational performance.

What you will do

 - Design, build, and evolve scalable and resilient backend systems

 - Contribute to an event-driven, distributed architecture

 - Work on AI-adjacent systems (integration, orchestration, data-heavy workflows)

 - Own services end-to-end (design, implementation, documentation, operation)

 - Collaborate closely with product managers, operations, and other engineers

 - Communicate clearly with stakeholders and explain technical trade-offs

 - Contribute to technical standards and best practices within the team

 - Foster a culture of excellence by coaching team members in best practices for backend engineering, domain-driven design, and navigating the complexities of the logistics domain.

Required Skills and Experience

 - Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis, particularly as they apply to large-scale data processing and financial calculations.

 - Proven professional software craftsmanship, with a focus on building high-quality, maintainable, and testable code (an understanding of TDD is a plus).

 - Expertise in designing and implementing large-scale, event-driven microservices architectures and robust APIs, with a keen understanding of data consistency in distributed systems.

 - Deep understanding of synchronous vs. asynchronous communication patterns and their impact on system performance and reliability

 - Hands-on experience developing distributed backend applications, with a strong focus on data consistency, system quality, low latency, and high availability.

 - Proficiency in microservices, with hands-on experience in backend technologies such as Node.js, TypeScript, and MongoDB.

 - Familiarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration for deploying and managing scalable pricing services.

 - Experience with cloud providers (AWS or GCP preferred) for deploying and managing highly available and scalable applications.

 - A collaborative, team-oriented mindset with strong critical product thinking and a sense of ownership over the accuracy and effectiveness of pricing data.

 - Fluent in English, both verbal and written, for effective communication within a global team.

Preferred Skills and Experience

 - Experience integrating AI/LLM-powered features into user faced applications

 - Experience applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in complex product domains
