Fullstack Engineer (f/m/d) – Capacity

What if… your work empowered change in an industry that essentially impacts the prosperity of the entire world? Forto is in business to exactly do that – disrupt logistics! Simplifying global trade has been our mission from day one. Our exponentially growing team of technology and logistics experts forge ahead each day with the goal to deliver a highly transparent, frictionless and sustainable digital supply chain while chasing towards our moonshot goal of achieving climate neutral operations by 2025.

In our Engineering department we solve one of the biggest challenges of global logistics and supply chain management: reducing the industry's high complexity with a digital and sustainable approach. We architect creative solutions that drive efficiency and innovation.

Your role

The Capacity team is on a mission to provide a best in class capacity planning and allocation management system that answers the difficult question: “Which contract from our portfolio should we use to move any given shipment?” We make sure every customer gets the best terms to move their goods by efficiently utilizing our agreements with partners.

As a Fullstack Engineer (f/m/d) in the Capacity team, you will work to maintain and evolve a series of systems and components that enable us to get closer to accomplishing our mission. Those systems involve backend services that communicate with other systems via events, processing and aggregating the data in a reliable way. We also care about displaying data to our Forto colleagues in a user-friendly way in our internal systems. The majority of the work for this position is on backend and it also requires candidates willing to work on the frontend (maintaining and implementing new features).
