Moving goods across international borders remains the last and most gnarly piece of global trade. While anyone can found a company these days, set up a webshop and receive international payments, getting a container from a factory in Asia to your warehouse in Rotterdam or Chicago remains so complex that you need specialized people to handle this for you. The Customs team is changing this, by automating customs declarations to an unprecedented level. We bring automation that is currently only available to the world's largest companies who have the money to invest in such tooling, to every entrepreneur who wants to move any amount of goods. On top of that, being a tech-first customs broker we can give our clients unparalleled insight into their customs processes providing them with significant cost savings, better risk control and significantly better inventory control. This allows companies to provide a more reliable service to their customers, at a more competitive price. <h2> Team Projects: </h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight:400;">Re-architecting customs core to handle exponential growth</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Developing the world’s first public customs API any third party can integrate with to clear goods</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Continue to expand our product, and double the amount of automation every year.</li> </ul> Things we ❤️ <ul> <li style="font-weight:400;">Modeling extremely complex and ambiguous domains into fully automated workflows</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Building highly performant and reliable Kotlin services on our cutting edge infrastructure platform</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Collaborating with our end users across the globe to make the best possible product for them: removing toil and surfacing interesting cases</li> </ul> <h2> How we work: </h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight:400;">We come to the office at least once a week to hang out, have lunch, white board, and collaborate</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">We have the latest and greatest MacBook Pros, a remote dev server, and all the tools you need</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">We’re agile, but not married to a single doctrine like scrum.
