Job Description

Help us digitalize international freight transportation!

OVRSEA is a next-generation multimodal freight forwarder dedicated to simplifying and optimizing international freight management through technology. We coordinate the transport of over 700 companies across 60 countries, providing our clients with a unique platform where their teams can manage shipments simply and transparently. With 160 employees globally, we're continuing our growth in 2024 and hiring internationally! Are you ready to join us and be part of this exciting adventure?

The Tech Team

The tech team is the driving force behind OVRSEA's vision: creating tools that will transform international freight transport! As pioneers in a largely undigitalized market, we offer our customers state-of-the-art solutions for managing transport and empower our operations teams to achieve unmatched efficiency in the industry.

What's it like being a GenAI Engineer at OVRSEA?

GenAI is becoming a core component of digital freight forwarding. We handle thousands of documents and emails daily. While the data is highly unstructured, Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at understanding it and helping our team automate repetitive tasks.

As a GenAI Engineer, your goal is to lay the foundations of our GenAI Platform for the coming years. This role combines engineering, product management, and GenAI conception. You'll collaborate with the tech team to apply software engineering best practices to AI development (CI/CD, observability, etc.), construct tools to enhance AI algorithm performance and usage (human-in-the-loop, etc.), and engage in prompt engineering and agent development.

We have the unique privilege of building a product in a complex, largely undigitalized market. As pioneers in this field, the challenge is incredibly exciting!

This position is open for both our Paris and Marseille offices.

Key results within one year:

- Reduce manual document processing time by 40% through AI-powered automation
