About the role

📍 Berlin | Full-time | Fluent 🇩🇪& 🇬🇧

 

E-commerce is booming — but independent brands still struggle to match the seamless logistics of giants like Amazon. At Bigblue, we’re on a mission to change that.

We help brands by democratizing best-in-class operations: scaling faster while delivering a five-star customer experience.

 

Since 2018, we’ve built a tech-driven logistics platform powering 600+ brands — from fast-growing DTC players to global names like MUJI, Aigle, and Cabaïa. With 130+ employees across Paris, Madrid, and London, our proprietary WMS (Warehouse Management System) Atlas, and a network of 10 warehouses across Europe, we’re solving logistics challenges that others haven’t dared to tackle — making fulfillment faster, smarter, and greener.

 

Backed by $20+M in funding and trusted by the next generation of e-commerce leaders, we’re scaling rapidly — from 10 million orders in 2024 toward ambitious enterprise expansion. The journey ahead is bold, and we’re looking for the right partner to help us lead the way.
