Join truemetrics - Build technology to navigate the world

truemetrics helps organizations to navigate the world more efficiently. We are solving one of the biggest pain points in last mile delivery: how to get parcels, groceries, and food to the right door faster and more efficiently.

Our technology sits in the smartphone of the courier and understands where they park, walk and enter a building. Our technology is right now mapping locations in Kasachstan, Qatar, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and many other countries.

Who we are

We are a tech-driven, customer-obsessed company with a small but highly skilled team, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mapping and positioning.

We thrive on autonomy, ownership, and speed—which means we’re looking for curious problem-solvers who love tackling hard challenges and making an immediate impact. If you want structure, rigid processes, and a slow corporate environment, this is not the place for you.

Why join us?

• Real Impact: Solve practical challenges that help thousands of delivery drivers navigate cities more efficiently.
• Collaborative Environment: Work closely with a tight-knit team of founders and engineers scaling the company.
• Technical Depth: Tackle advanced problems in positioning, sensor fusion, and large-scale data processing.
• Industry Shaping: Influence the future of AI-driven mapping technology in a rapidly growing sector.
• Global Ambition: Join a startup partnering with top logistics companies like GLS, DPD, and Snoonu.
• Dynamic Culture: Experience the fast-paced environment of a Silicon Valley-connected startup. We are backed by some of the most successful investors in the world like Y-Combinator, Soma Capital or Rebel Fund.
• Pick your own Hardware: You get yearly budget, buy what you want and keep it.
• Equity package: You are playing a key role at truemetrics - that means that you should profit if truemetrics is succesfull. In addition to your salary - an equity package is planned for this position.

Why not to join us?

If you’re looking for a big team, a slow-paced environment, or a job where you can coast along without ownership, this probably isn’t the right fit. We move fast, iterate quickly, and expect everyone to contribute with initiative and creativity.

Requirements

• You are based in Berlin and you have a valid working permit.
• You have 4+ years of experience in software engineering, data analysis or research.

You’re a great fit if you meet most of the following:

• Strong Python Skills: You have 3–5+ years of hands-on Python experience, and you're comfortable using it as your daily tool. At truemetrics, Python is at the heart of everything we build.
• Excellent Analytical Thinking: You love solving complex problems and have solid experience developing algorithms or tackling mathematical challenges. You can demonstrate this through your CV or a well-maintained GitHub portfolio.
• Cloud Know-How: You’re familiar with AWS services and feel confident working with serverless tools such as AWS Lambda, Athena, and S3.

Bonus points if you bring any of the following:

• Data or Math background: You know how to turn complex data into insights. Ideally, you have a strong foundation in data science or mathematics, and perhaps even experience working with geospatial data.
• Maps, Addresses, Geospatial Data or Routing: You have hands-on experience in one or more of these domains, and can point to real-world projects or achievements.
• Logistics, Parcel or Food Delivery: You understand the underlying business models and may have worked in a related field before.
• Machine Learning for Time Series: You’re familiar with ML concepts for time series data and can demonstrate your knowledge through a current or recent project.

You will work directly with the CTO. For many features, you will start completely from scratch; for others, you will dive into truemetrics' advanced technology and take it to the next level.

You are the first hire in this role — which means you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact, but also carry a high level of responsibility.

Data Exploration, Analysis & Improvement

• Data Preparation & Analysis: You prepare and structure data to make it easily understandable and meaningful, ensuring our customers gain valuable insights.

Prototyping & Innovation

• Prototype Development: You design and implement prototypes for new features and actively contribute to the evolution of our algorithms and data processing workflows.
• Algorithm Improvement: You lead the development of innovative algorithms aimed at enhancing the quality and reliability of both existing and upcoming features. Your tested ideas are translated directly into product improvements.

Software Engineering

• Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis: When issues arise, you act as the master detective- tracking down root causes and proposing solutions.
• Performance Analytics & Feature Support: You identify weaknesses in existing solutions or algorithms, support the development of new features, and propose improvements to boost performance and robustness.

How to Apply

• Highlight that you live in Berlin in the subject line - if not, we cannot take your application into account.
• Please include your CV .
• Please tell us why you think you would be a good fit for this role, be specific.
• Do you have an impressive GitHub repo to prove your skills? Great share it!
