Our work spans multiple domains so we’re tech stack agnostic. We work with whichever technologies are needed for the problem at hand and we also encourage and support team members in broadening their knowledge and acquiring new skills.

Our team is currently small (<15 people), close-knit and growing. We’re a mix of nationalities and our working language is English.

We offer a competitive salary with profit sharing, flat hierarchy, access to all the latest equipment and software you require, a large air-conditioned office building in Mitte and so much more.

FreightFlows | Data Engineer, Devops Engineer. Also Sales/Marketing and Product roles | Boston, MA USA | ONSITE or REMOTE

We're a new startup from Boston (< 6 months old) focused on the $20 Trillion dollar global seaborne trade market.

FreightFlows provides aggregated, predictive analytics for global trade. While maritime data continues to grow in volume and complexity, actionable insights continue to be elusive. The industry instead deals with inaccurate, stale and biased data from many fragmented sources. The complexity of bringing together trusted, timely information means companies have had to rely on dubious, incomplete market insight and therefore make decisions on anecdotal evidence. FreightFlows uses proprietary data science algorithms to synthesize data into trade truth, predictive analytics and actionable intelligence for traders, shippers, owners and brokers.

Ask me anything.. Matt Morgan, Founder hello@freightflows.com
