Role Overview

We are looking for 6 experienced Senior Developers, preferably people who are experienced with C++ in consolidating three existing Transport Management Systems into a unified SaaS platform. As part of this transformation, we are continuing to support and enhance the existing platforms while progressing the development of the new unified solution.

The current TMS landscape consists of three interconnected application areas that collectively support the planning, execution, and control of shipment delivery operations. Together, these systems provide a comprehensive transport management capability, enabling efficient coordination, operational visibility, and end to end control across the delivery lifecycle.

The platform combines a robust core architecture with the flexibility to extend functionality and integrate additional services, supporting both day to day operational requirements and ongoing product evolution. Much of the software estate originated through acquisition, with some components having evolved over more than 30 years.
