Who We Are

We're Locus. We move the world's goods.

Our algorithms have optimised over 1 billion deliveries. We're the enterprise TMS trusted by IKEA, Unilever, UPS and some of the largest supply chains on the planet. Backed by Ingka Group (IKEA's parent), we're building a composable, multi-modal transportation management system that's redefining logistics technology.

We're not hiring to fill seats. We're hiring builders who build for other builders.

Lead the design and architecture of complex, distributed systems, frameworks, and libraries aligned with Locus's technical strategy.

Drive engineering operational excellence, define roadmaps for system reliability, observability, and performance improvements.

Analyze and optimize existing systems for latency, throughput, and efficiency,

Work closely with a team both Biological and Digital Product, Data, and Infrastructure to translate business requirements into technical deliverables.

Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous learning.

Stay ahead of the curve on emerging technologies, frameworks, and patterns to strengthen Locus's technology foundation.

Contribute to hiring, identify and attract top-tier engineering talent.
