About the job
sennder is Europe’s leading digital freight forwarder transforming the industry with a new degree of transparency and flexibility. We are looking for a Senior/Mid Fullstack Engineer with strong adaptability and focus on high quality code to join our new Value Added Services(VAS) business area. The role can be based out of the Berlin office.
We value humility and we’re as interested in your character as we are in your talent. Please apply, even if you feel you only meet part of our listed criteria. Diversity drives innovation and we offer an international and friendly work environment with an energetic company culture. Just be yourself and maybe you’ll bring something valuable to the role we didn’t initially think of.

The VAS team strives to facilitate faster and cheaper delivery of goods for everyone, by providing carriers with the most compelling services to successfully finance, grow and easily manage their business. Historically, carriers have been treated poorly as they are typically the weakest link in the supply chain/ecosystem of road freight logistics. As a consequence, carriers have been underserved, dictated conditions not in their favor, and exposed to poor user experiences. We believe that sennder has the mandate and authority to offer services that have been designed to meet the needs of carriers and empower them to strive in their business. This ‘carrier first’ mentality is our biggest asset to succeed.
As a Fullstack Engineer, you will have an opportunity to create a substantial business impact by building new financial products and services that delight carriers across Europe. You’ll contribute to the architectural vision and technical direction across the whole VAS team, delivering on the roadmaps and increasing team velocity and output whilst innovating, applying best practices and helping your colleagues to grow.
