Raft is an intelligent logistics platform transforming the freight and customs industry through automation and advanced technologies. As a fast-scaling, UK-based tech company with global reach, we’re pioneering solutions that empower freight forwarders and customs brokers to operate at new levels of efficiency and precision. Fuelled by our Series B funding from renowned investors like Eight Roads, Bessemer Venture Partners, Episode 1, and Dynamo Ventures, we're poised for major growth and innovation.

The Role: As a Senior Backend Engineer at Raft, you’ll be pivotal in shaping the architecture and capabilities of our platform to support mission-critical logistics features. This is not a traditional engineering role—it's a high-impact opportunity where you’ll design robust cloud infrastructure, develop scalable APIs, and enhance our data pipeline ecosystem. You will be instrumental in creating highly resilient systems, enabling features such as multi-user access and real-time updates, and setting new standards for data integrity, security, and performance. In addition to building advanced software, you’ll play a strategic role in driving technical decision-making and mentoring our growing engineering team. This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambitious environment and is ready to make an outsized impact on a product used across the globe.

What You'll Do:

• Architect, build, and maintain scalable, cloud-based infrastructure.
• Design, implement, and maintain sophisticated databases, APIs, and data pipelines, with responsibility for the underlying infrastructure.
• Drive the evolution of platform features that require complex engineering solutions, including multi-user access and real-time updates.
• Collaborate across functions to ensure our platform is secure, reliable, and optimized for performance.
