cargo. one is a digital platform that revolutionizes air freight procurement and sales for freight forwarders and airlines. The company provides instant quote responses, comprehensive rate comparisons, and streamlined booking capabilities with a global network of more than 200 airlines and trusted agents.

The company empowers its users by transforming traditional emailing processes into digital interactions to secure bookings more efficiently.

📋 Description

• Own problem spaces end to end: you write the spec and the acceptance criteria, agents do much of the typing, and you own the review, the architecture and what ships. • Build AI into the product itself — for example: when an airline quotes a price over email, our AI agents turn that free-text reply into a quote the customer can book in the app. • Make AI trustworthy where a wrong number books real freight: structured outputs, evals, confidence-gated human review, monitoring. • Raise the squad's AI leverage: better specs, better harnesses, better review — your workflow improvements ship to every engineer. • Build self-service tools (Vue.js front-ends on a Python backend) so colleagues help themselves instead of filing requests — often agent-assisted, always yours to design. • Hold the quality bar in a codebase where a lot of the code is generated: automated tests, metrics, tracing, alerts, and real review discipline. • Support your users hands-on, challenge assumptions, and ask "why" before you build.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of backend experience building web applications, with strong architecture instincts (request/response flow, service integration). • Strong SQL, including data consistency, indexing and race conditions. • A spec-driven way of working: you plan and define acceptance criteria before you code, and write clearly (we're remote-first). • You're fluent in the modern AI engineering stack — LLMs, agents, MCP, coding assistants, agent harnesses — and you use it daily. You ship with Claude Code or an equivalent, and you've built or wired AI into a real system. • More importantly: judgement. You validate, critique and refine what models produce, you know where they go wrong, and you know when *not* to reach for AI. • Product sense and empathy for the people using what you build. • Low-ego collaboration: you give and take feedback and work self-directed. • Bonus points: you've built your own agentic tooling, rather than just consuming it; our stack (Python 3, Flask, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, Kubernetes on GCP), Vue.js, or experience raising a team's AI fluency.

🏖️ Benefits

• €650 home office budget, plus your choice of MacBook or Dell laptop delivered before day one. • Co-working access through our partner Desana. • 24 paid vacation days on top of your country's public holidays, plus special leaves. • Offsite fun and team trips: we meet twice a year as a company. • Permanent full-time employment through our partner Remote.com.
