About the solution: developing a logistics software 

Together with our partner, we are working on the company’s R&D project – a cloud-based logistics application for container tracking and supply chain management (SCM).

This app helps take full control of transportation, speed up delivery, and cut costs.

Why this project?

1. Saving the ocean for dolphins!

We’ll make you fall in love with the logistics domain! Our partner is not only the leader in container shipping worldwide but also a responsible business that protects ocean habitats and underwater life. Sea shipping can be harmful to marine animals. So to reduce the threat, ZIM avoids chemical spills into the sea, slows their fleets in areas inhabited by endangered species, supports underwater noise-reduction activities, strictly manages ballast water, and many more.

1. Growth

The project is at its initial stage at N-iX, so there are a lot of growth opportunities. We’re building a team of skilled senior engineers who work on expanding the functionality of the ZIM application. There are hot openings on the project – apply and let’s grow together!

1. Technologies

The project has a wide tech stack – Java, Kotlin, Scala, React, Angular and microservices. We are working on the new product features following Test Driven Development and XP programming approaches.

1. Impact

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything the company does. They aim to reduce fleet emissions and fuel consumption to minimize the negative impact on the ocean and its habitants. Also, the company puts much effort into social initiatives – for example, they supported India by shipping medical supplies for almost no charge at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

1. Team

You’ll work hand-in-hand with a strong international team from Israel, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Macedonia and Ukraine. Also, you’ll take part in growing the N-iX team on this project.
