Technical Onboarding Engineer IFS Logistics

About IFS Logistics

IFS Logistics helps enterprise shippers connect transport data manage carrier spend and automate execution. The product began as 7bridges and is now part of IFS with a small team building and running it.

The role

We are hiring two Tech Onboarding Engineers for six-month fixed-term roles starting as soon as possible. You will connect carriers and providers bring customer data into the platform and help named customers reach production while the core squads continue building longer-term foundations.

The work is hands-on integration engineering. You will deal with ERP exports shipment files invoices APIs and third-party feeds that are rarely as clean or stable as their documentation suggests.

The goal is not simply to process more onboarding work. When the same manual step appears repeatedly you will turn it into a template configuration option self-service tool or well-defined product change. By the end of the contract the platform should need less manual onboarding than it did when you joined.

This is a genuine six-month engagement with no implied permanent conversion.

What youll work on

• Connect new carriers and providers through APIs and file feeds including credentials testing and go-live support.
• Map clean and validate customer ERP exports shipment files and invoices into our data model.
• Own onboarding tasks for named customers against clear delivery dates.
• Support the Product Operations team as they onboard customers and handle master data management.
• Diagnose failures involving authentication pagination rate limits schema changes and poor source data.
• Convert repeated manual steps into reusable templates configuration or self-service tooling.
• Document integrations and failure modes so the core squads can support them after the contract ends.

Qualifications :

What were looking for

• Around two to five years of hands-on software or integration engineering experience.
• Python and enough SQL to investigate data properly.
• Experience with REST APIs authentication pagination retries and rate limits.
• Confidence working with inconsistent third-party data including missing fields changing schemas and bad encodings.
• A track record of automating repeated work rather than quietly absorbing it.
• The ability to run a technical working session with a customers team and communicate data problems clearly.
• Regular use of AI coding tools such as Cursor or Claude with a reliable process for checking output.
• The ability to organise your own work and become productive quickly in a time-boxed engagement.

Nice to have

• Logistics freight parcel or supply-chain data experience.
• BigQuery dbt or comparable data-warehouse tooling.
• EDI or carrier and 3PL integrations.
• Previous onboarding or implementation engineering in a SaaS company.

Tech stack

Python and Django REST TypeScript Node and React; BigQuery dbt Cube Cloud and Superset; Pub/Sub and Datastream; GCP Kubernetes Terraform and GitLab CI/CD. We use Cursor and Claude for development Notion for specifications and Jira for delivery.

What success looks like in the first six months

• The named customers assigned to you are live on time.
• New carrier and provider integrations are running with their known failure modes documented.
• At least two previously manual onboarding steps have become self-service or automated.
• The permanent squads have a clear usable handover for every integration you owned.

Why were hiring now

Customer and carrier onboarding demand is higher than the core squads can absorb while they improve the platform itself. These roles provide immediate delivery capacity and turn the lessons from current onboardings into better tooling for the next ones.
