Get a taste of the startup scene
What we do
At Trendfire, we've been developing telematics solutions for transport companies for 20 years. With our products, we bridge the information gap between the truck on the road and the office staff. This includes tracking trucks with GPS, transmitting vehicle data, communicating with drivers, and much more. Our telematics systems are in use worldwide every day, reliably delivering the GPS position and other data from vehicles and drivers.
Vacancies
We currently have the following entry-level opportunities:
- Practical session 12: Montage as part of the ADV training
- Internship (6 months) in Software Development (Full-Stack, Frontend, Backend)
- Final thesis in software
- Speculative application in the field of software development
What to expect from us
Long before iPhones existed and IoT, Cloud, and Logistics 4.0 became buzzwords, we were already programming software for Nokia mobile phones, enabling digital order processing for our freight forwarding clients. Nevertheless, there's still a startup vibe in our offices: a relaxed atmosphere, a family-like approach and plenty of scope for your own ideas.
For our team, we are looking for people with Enthusiasm for new technologies and enjoyment of trying new things. We offer creative freedom and room for personal development, because this is the only way to create new solutions that move us forward. We rely on continuously growing expertise within our own company. We cover areas such as hardware, sensor technology, embedded systems, mobile apps for Android and iOS, databases, web technologies, online portals, and much more.
