About Tigris

A critical operating environment, still underserved

Logistics moves around 80% of the products people use every day, yet the systems behind it have not kept pace with the realities of modern operations: more connected, more time-sensitive, and far less forgiving.

Operational data still arrives through emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, and legacy systems. It is often late, inconsistent, and missing the context teams need to act with confidence. People bridge the gaps manually, decisions are made with incomplete information, and issues can escalate before they are visible.

Tigris is building the foundation for logistics systems that are simpler, more connected, and easier to adapt without replacing the people who run them.

What Tigris does

Tigris is the operating system for ship operators, ports, and freight forwarders. It turns fragmented operational data into a structured, timely, and auditable view of what is happening, then gives teams the workflows, analytics, and decision tools they need to run complex global operations with confidence.

The problem Tigris solves

Logistics professionals should not have to spend their time reconciling emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, and fragmented systems just to understand what is happening. Tigris takes the repetitive, error-prone work out of daily operations, giving teams the clarity and tools they need to focus on moving real cargo across oceans, ports, and highways.

Who Tigris is today

Tigris combines the speed and independence of a startup with the backing and industry access of a global shipping and logistics group. The company is already deployed with first customers and is scoping further pilots and commercial opportunities across Asia.

Who Tigris needs

Tigris is growing around real customer demand. With active deployments, pilots in progress, and new commercial opportunities emerging, the company is hiring engineers and product builders who can bring modern data tools, strong technical judgment, and thoughtful product design to one of the world's most operationally complex industries.

Working at Tigris

A clear view of the work

Tigris moves fast. The work can be ambiguous, demanding, and quick to change. What matters is the ability to stay focused, take ownership, and help build systems that perform reliably in real operations.

The hiring process is designed to be open on both sides. Candidates should leave with a clear understanding of what it is like to work at Tigris, and the same clarity is expected in return.

Job titles describe the main focus of a role, not every task it may involve. Nobody is expected to be an expert in everything. What matters is the willingness to learn quickly, step in where needed, and approach the work with seriousness, curiosity, and care.

Tigris may be right for you if…

  • You want to build, not just operate.

  • You want to work on systems that shape how real cargo moves across oceans, ports, and highways.

  • You want your work to matter beyond the screen: supporting the movement of goods that people and businesses rely on every day.

Culture & Values

Built on a shared set of values

Tigris is built for people who value trust, clarity, and depth. The team works openly, avoids unnecessary politics and performance, and stays focused on delivering systems that hold up in real operations.

Have a point of view, and hold it loosely

Whatever your level of experience, Tigris expects you to think clearly, form a perspective, and contribute it. Strong ideas are welcome, and disagreement is part of doing good work. Once a decision is made, the expectation is to commit to it and help make it successful.

This means Tigris will:

  • * Ask for your ideas
  • * Take them seriously
  • * Choose the strongest ideas, regardless of where they came from

It does not mean Tigris will:

  • * Always choose your idea
  • * Treat disagreement as a problem
  • * Involve everyone in every decision

Technology in service of operators

Tigris builds technology for the people who run logistics, not around them or over them. Captains, mariners, and operators work in high-pressure environments where context matters and shortcuts fail. Building useful products for them starts with respecting their expertise, understanding their constraints, and designing tools they can trust.

This means Tigris will:

  • * Respect customers and the realities of their work
  • * Build transparent tools, not black boxes
  • * Prioritise adoption, not just delivery

It does not mean Tigris will:

  • * Always agree with customers
  • * Accept "this is how it has always been done" as the final answer
  • * Allow every request to become product scope

Curiosity with discipline

Tigris operates in an industry where assumptions run deep and change is hard. Building something useful means staying curious about how things really work: the technology, the operations, the data, and the human decisions behind them. Curiosity matters most when it leads to clearer judgment and better execution.

This means Tigris will:

  • * Get to root causes
  • * Challenge customers and each other constructively
  • * Make decisions deliberately

It does not mean Tigris will:

  • * Confuse challenge with being disagreeable
  • * Change things for the sake of change
  • * Wait for perfect information

Earn credibility through craft

Tigris works in an industry where trust has to be earned through proof. Customers may not believe what is possible until they see it working in their own operations. That means the team has to care deeply about craft, improve constantly, and hold the work to a high standard.

This means Tigris will:

  • * Build deep mastery in its craft
  • * Take feedback from anyone when it improves the work
  • * Give feedback directly and constructively

It does not mean Tigris will:

  • * Criticise people instead of improving the work
  • * Let perfectionism block progress
  • * Set people up to fail

Why Tigris

A real change to a system that carries the world

Work with a team that goes deep

You will work alongside engineers, operators, and commercial people who approach the problem together. Engineers spend time learning how logistics actually works. Commercial teams spend time understanding the product and the technology behind it.

Tigris works best when people are curious beyond their own role. The team needs people who want to understand the business, the users, the product, and the systems behind it.

Build on modern foundations

Tigris uses the right technology for the problem, wherever it comes from. Solving operational problems at this scale requires foundations that are modern, deliberate, and built to evolve.

Strong ideas are welcome from the beginning. If there is a better way to build something, make the case.

Make work that matters

Global logistics carries around 80% of the goods people use every day. As trade and manufacturing become more connected, the systems behind logistics need to become clearer, faster, and more reliable.

At Tigris, your work connects directly to real-world operations: cargo moving across oceans, ports, warehouses, and roads.

Keep learning

Tigris is building in a complex industry, and nobody arrives knowing everything. The work offers constant exposure to new problems across logistics, data, product, and operations. People are expected to learn quickly, ask good questions, and build judgment through real work.

Our Investors

Startup speed, serious backing

    Growth capital

  • *

    Direct access to customers

CV review

Whether your CV reaches Tigris through a recruiter or directly, the aim is to give you a clear go/no-go decision within two days.

More about what makes a strong CV

What matters most is a clear account of what you have actually done. Your CV does not need to be over-polished or rewritten to match the language on the job description. A straightforward summary of your real work is more useful than a generic or heavily machine-drafted résumé.

You do not need to tailor your CV extensively for Tigris. Show what you have built, shipped, improved, led, or learned. If your experience is broadly aligned with what the role needs, you will be invited to interview.

If your background is not aligned with the role, Tigris will let you know quickly so both sides can save time.

30 min Video

Talent screen

This is a 30-minute video call with a member of the Talent Team.

The conversation will cover the specific requirements of the role and give you a clearer sense of the team, the problems you may work on, and where the company is heading. It is also a chance for you to ask questions and decide whether Tigris feels like the right environment for you.

Tip: think about the impact you have had in previous roles and be ready to share clear, evidence-based examples.

75 min Engineering

Technical interview

This is a 75-minute session with two members of the engineering team.

At the start of the interview, they will introduce a system or technical problem, then work through it with you. Be ready to go into technical depth and explain your decisions. Throughout the session, think about scalability, reliability, and availability.

What the team is looking for

The team is interested in how you reason through problems, make trade-offs, and communicate your thinking. The goal is not simply to arrive at the “right” answer.

30–60 min CEO

Values interview

Everyone who joins Tigris meets with the CEO before a final decision is made.

This is a 30 to 60-minute conversation about your career, your motivations, and how you approach your work. It is also a chance to ask any remaining questions about the company, the role, or what it is like to work here.

Action

The steps you took

Result

The outcome of your actions

Reflection

What you learned from the experience

Treat interviews as a two-way conversation

Interviews are not only about Tigris assessing you. They are also your opportunity to assess Tigris.
