How to Apply for Software Engineer

at Einride

🏢 About Einride

Einride is pioneering the future of freight transport by developing autonomous, electric vehicles and digital infrastructure to create emission-free logistics. Unlike traditional tech companies, they combine cutting-edge software with physical transportation systems, offering engineers the chance to solve real-world sustainability challenges. Working here means contributing directly to reducing global carbon emissions through innovative technology.

About This Role

This Software Engineer role focuses on backend development using Go, gRPC, and Google Cloud Platform to build systems that manage complex transportation logistics. You'll translate real B2B freight transport needs into scalable solutions while working in fast-paced product teams that deploy to production multiple times daily. Your work will directly impact how goods move sustainably across Europe.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'd start by reviewing deployment metrics from yesterday's multiple production releases, then collaborate with product teams on designing backend services for new freight management features. Most of your day involves writing Go code, designing gRPC APIs, and solving complex transportation logic problems while participating in team discussions about improving system architecture. You'll likely end the day by shipping new functionality to production that directly impacts how freight moves across Europe.
