About Tigris
Logistics moves around 80% of the products people use every day. The systems that run it have not kept pace with how connected, time-sensitive, and unforgiving modern operations have become.
Data arrives in emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, and legacy systems — late, inconsistent, and without enough context. Teams compensate manually. Decisions get made on partial information. Problems spread before anyone sees them coming.
Tigris is building the foundation that makes those systems simpler, more connected, and easier to evolve — without replacing the people who run them.
Who we need
We do not have enough people to meet our active customer commitments, deliver the pilots in flight, and respond to inbound demand. We need engineers and product builders who can bring modern data tools and human-centred design to a deeply operational industry.
Working at Tigris
We move fast. We need people who can work in environments that are sometimes ambiguous and always demanding — but always in service of building something that has to hold up in real operations.
We try to be honest with prospective hires about what working here is like, and we hope you will be honest with us too.
Job titles describe what you do most of the time, not all of the time. We do not expect you to be an expert in everything. We do expect you to give everything your best shot.
Tigris may be right for you
If you want to build something, rather than just operate it.
If you want to look at a cargo ship moving across the ocean and know that you helped direct its path.
If you want to drink a glass of wine from Argentina or eat an orange from Morocco and know that you helped it arrive at your table.
Culture & Values
We will give you the conditions to do the best work of your career. No politics. No theatre. A talented, open team operating on trust and going deep so we can deliver together.

Why Tigris
You will work alongside engineers, operators, and commercial people who go deep on the problem together. Our developers spend time understanding the logistics industry; our commercial team spends time in the code. We cannot afford divisions, and we want teammates who are curious about every part of the business.
We use the right technology for the problem, regardless of source. To solve operational problems at this scale, the foundation has to be modern, deliberate, and built to evolve. If you know a better way, make the case — and you can reshape what we build on your first day.
Around 80% of the goods people use arrive thanks to global logistics, and globalised trade and manufacturing is only increasing. Here you do not create impact by making a small change to a massive system. You create impact by making a big change to a massive system.
We believe in continuous learning and development. A £1,000 annual learning budget, 5 study days a year, structured progression, and direct experience with infrastructure that matters — we invest in your growth because that is how we grow as a company.

We just happen to have a very large operator standing behind us.

Interview Process
There are two paths. Whichever you pick, the goal is to go from receiving your CV to a hiring decision in two weeks.
Option 1
Option 2
Whether your CV reaches us through a recruiter or directly, we will give you a go/no-go decision within two days.
A 30-minute video call with a member of the Talent Team. We will cover the specific requirements for the role and give you a sense of the team, the problems you might work on, and where the company is heading. It is a two-way conversation — come with the questions you have about us. Tip: think about the impact you have had in previous roles and be ready to share evidence-based examples.
A 75-minute session with two members of the engineering team. They will set out a system at the start, then work through it with you. Be ready to go into technical depth and to justify your decisions — think about scalability, reliability, and availability throughout. We are looking at how you reason through problems, not whether you arrive at the “right” answer.
A day of pair-coding with one or two engineers from the team. The brief is simple: use what you know to help them work better, push their thinking, and point out issues with their code. It is your chance to show us what it would be like to work with you, and ours to do the same. Day rate: $200.
Our CEO meets everyone who joins the team. A 30 to 60-minute conversation about you, your career, and what matters to you — and your chance to ask any question you have not already had answered.
Interview Tips
Whether you are very experienced or new to the job market, interviews can be exciting and uncertain. Here are our top tips to help you prepare.
FAQ
We are growing fast and our needs evolve fast too — so please:
All our developer roles are based in London, with at least 4 days a week in the office. Some non-engineering roles can be more flexible — your Talent Partner will confirm the specifics for the role you are interviewing for.
Tigris has sponsored UK visas for exceptional candidates. If you need sponsorship, please note this on your CV so we can confirm whether the specific role can support it.
Personal and professional development should be employee-led, manager-guided, and Tigris-supported. Employees take ownership of the skills they want to develop, and your development is a continuous conversation with your manager.
Every employee has a £1,000 (equivalent in BGN and USD) annual L&D allowance, refreshed in January. Developing or learning a new skill takes time and effort, so we also offer 5 study days a year.
No. We have logistics experts on the team. If you are a stellar engineer who shares our values, that is all we are looking for.
We would love to meet you in person, but you can complete the interview process remotely if needed.
