Move rail freight forward. With us.

We build the transport management platform that runs Europe's rail and intermodal logistics. Join a scale-up that ships into mission-critical operations — and a team that's small enough for your work to matter on day one.

WHY RAIL-FLOW

A place where industry meets innovation.

Three things people tell us they get from working here. Two are about the work. One is about how it feels to do it.

Industry + tech in one place

Half the team comes from rail and intermodal operations. The other half builds software. You sit between them — close to real customers, real wagons, real terminals, and the code thatrunsthem.

Real-world impact

Every shipment moved on Rail-Flow is one fewer truck on Europe's motorways. Your work shows up in CO₂ saved, wagons turned around, and rail freight finally catching up with the rest of logistics.

Scale-up energy

180+ people, six offices, ISO 27001 + 9001 certified, and a platform already running mission-critical operations across Europe and Australia. Big enough that the work is serious. Small enough that you'll shape it.

Benefits

This is why Rail-Flow works for the people who work here.

We don't pretend perks are the reason people stay. The work and the team are. But the basics matter — and we cover them so you can focus on what you came here to do.

Flexible working hours + hybrid

Capture customer requests, build offers, and convert won deals into contracts. Powered by Offer Management and CRM.

Choose your own hardware

Pick the laptop, screen, and tools you actually want to work on. We don't believe in fighting your IT setup before 9 a.m.

Modern central offices

Frankfurt am Main (HQ), Izmir, Rotterdam, and more — central locations, easy to reach by train (obviously), built for focused work and team time.

Staff development opportunities

Conferences, certifications, language classes, internal mobility between teams. We back the learning that moves you forward — and the platform forward with you.

Freedom for your own ideas

Bring an idea, build a prototype, ship it. The best features on the platform started as someone's side suggestion in a team meeting. Initiative is rewarded here.

You contribute to lower CO2 emissions

Every shipment shifted from road to rail through Rail-Flow is real CO₂ saved. The climate impact isn't a perk; it's why we exist — and it shows up in every release.

Team voices

What people, who work here, actually say

Careers

“Rugby taught me a lot about performing under pressure — trusting the people around you, communicating constantly, and sometimes just putting yourself on the line for the team. That mentality shows up directly in moments like a new feature release — you rally, everyone knows their role, and you push through together.”

Pablo Girardi
CTO, Rail-Flow
