Job description

We are Raft, an AI-driven start-up that automates operations for freight forwarding, a critical part of the global supply chain. We're transforming this $200B industry's heavily manual processes from the ground up. Our customers include several of the world's top 10 freight forwarders, and many more.

We're named as one of the UK's most exciting AI start-ups by Tech Nation, recognized by the Mayor's International Business Programme and Innovate UK, and we've been featured in Techcrunch and Bloomberg as well as leading industry publications JOC , Freightwaves and Loadstar . We have ambitious expansion plans and are looking for future Rafters who are excited by rapid company growth, want to navigate challenging problems, and are eager to embrace responsibility.

Our Founders

James and Nisarg started the company in 2017 after meeting at Entrepreneur First. James had previously spent 10 years creating and leading teams in financial services, commodities and trade, living the problem that Raft solves. Nisarg, a machine learning specialist and alumnus of both Cambridge and Microsoft Research, understood the solution. Both firmly felt that a product that could use the content of day-to-day enterprise activity to make workflows better would be incredibly powerful. For more on their story, journey, and vision, you can find some insider insights here .

We at Raft know that our fantastic team are the reason we're on the path that we're on. Without them, none of this would have been possible, and so we ensure that our people are properly taken care of. These are just a few of the ways in which we do so.

We have a modern, open concept workspace in the bustling heart of Borough market in London and Mumbai in India. We have fully stocked fridges for breakfasts, snacks and weekly London office lunches
