[Hiring] Founding Engineer @cargovibe

Role Description

We’re hiring our Founding Engineer to help take our product to the next level together with our tech team. You’ll work closely and on the same level with the founders, our engineering lead, customers, and drivers. You won’t be building in isolation - you’ll be working on a product that solves real problems every single day.

• Own product-critical features end-to-end - from database schema and backend APIs to frontend/mobile integration
• Further develop our React Native app, backend systems, and technical infrastructure
• Integrate logistics, geo, routing, and real-time data into a product that drivers actually use every day
• Work closely with founders, engineering, customers, and drivers to turn real-world problems into reliable product solutions
• Move fast, take ownership, and make decisions in a dynamic startup environment

Qualifications

• Professional experience with TypeScript / Node and a corresponding testing framework (i.e. Jest)
• Solid experience with React / React Native, ideally Expo
• Good understanding of backend systems, API Integrations, and data models
• Previous experience in fast-paced software teams, ideally in a startup, scale-up, or product-driven engineering environment, is a plus
• Hands-on experience in leveraging AI tools as a natural part of your daily workflow
• Interest in mobile development, logistics, geo data, or automation
• Independent working style and a high bar for reliable software
• Nice to have: experience with mobile apps, routing/maps, real-time data, cloud infrastructure, or LLM/voice features

Benefits

• Competitive salary and early ownership through VSOP
• Real product impact: your code reaches users quickly
• High responsibility, fast decisions, and strong ownership
• Remote-first work with no fixed office requirement
• Hubs in Münster and Hamburg, plus regular team days and offsites
• Sparring with Unicorn Founders, logistics executives, and experienced operators
• A strong network across logistics, startups, and investors
• Modern equipment, learning budget, and the standards you’d expect
• Develop in the areas you care about most - whether that’s product, architecture, AI, mobile, infrastructure, or logistics
• The chance to build a core platform for Europe’s trucking industry
