Front End Developer

Do you want to contribute to a better world? Do you want to help companies decide how to pack and load their goods? Do you want to make sure they load their trucks in a smart way minimizing empty space? Do you want to tell your friends their package in the delivery truck is planned with the software you built? You’re the right person for our team! 

All companies that transport goods have to do packing and loading at some point. There are many parts to this puzzle. There’s packing products into boxes, packing those into pallets, and the actual loading itself. The big issue here is often complexity: it’s a 3D Tetris problem with thousands of real boxes!  

We build software to do 3D load building and plan orders using the right boxes, pallets and trucks. We are using the latest version of Angular to build our high complex UIs to support the planners in their planning processes. Your work is to design and implement features which are defined by the product owner. An example of a feature in our software is showing routes, orders, and GPS positions of the delivery trucks on a map. Next to this we build feature so the planner can do the work easily like planning orders on routes or start an optimization for a planning. 

Developments are mainly greenfield, meaning you’ll be developing new features where there’s lots of interaction with the other disciplines in the team. Your changes make impact!
