STAFF ENGINEER

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.

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,




ensuring they perform at scale.

Work closely with a team both Biological and Digital Product, Data, and

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

Establish and uphold coding standards, conduct design and code reviews, and
