About FreightHub: The Company

At FreightHub, we’re building the backbone of global trade. We are revolutionizing logistics by making it easier, faster, and more cost efficient to move goods from any point A to point B in the world – on container ships, airplanes, trucks and trains.

What engineers at FreightHub build:

  • We build quoting and routing algorithms to calculate prices for moving goods globally, e.g. what does it cost and how long does it take to move 150 bikes from Taiwan to Berlin via airplane?
  • We ingest live tracking data of ships, trucks and airplanes to infer meaningful actions on the supply chain, e.g. re-routing shipments when a ship a arrives late.
  • We build a platform that makes global logistics easy, enabling our customers to focus on their core business, e.g. by providing them with a visual dashboard and map of their supply chain for actionable insights at any time
  • We automate processes to lift the degree of automisation from 5% to 90% - killing faxes, emails, and phone calls from logistics once and for all
  • We build complex APIs to connect our partners and customers, e.g. for sending a truck through Europe, without ever talking to the driver

How engineers at FreightHub work:

  • We are product-focused: Our features are built for customers and our platform exists to provide the best logistics experience in the world
  • We use a modern stack: React and Angular in the frontend, NodeJS and Typescript in the backend, MongoDB as database, dockerized deployments on a private PaaS, hosted on AWS
  • We work in a fast-paced environment: We rely on Kanban-based workflow, push to release every day, deploy high automated test coverage, and monitor constantly
