Founding Engineer

About 360 Logistics

360 Logistics is a Norwegian third-party logistics provider (3PL) specialised in small consumer goods - cosmetics, beauty, apparel and electronics. We run one of the most automated warehouses among Norwegian 3PLs, built around a large AutoStore installation alongside automated parcel sorting, and we handle orders for more than 100 merchants. We’re expanding our AutoStore capacity significantly this autumn and aim to roughly double our operational and storage capacity within 12 months. 360 is management-owned but well-funded, with a cap table that includes some of Norway’s leading family offices and venture and tech investors.

The warehouse revolution

Warehousing will change more in the next three years than it has in the last thirty. ASRS storage, like AutoStore, was the first wave. Next comes robotic picking and humanoids working the floor alongside the automation we already run. This is the intersection of software and robotics - and the software that ties it all together is what we want to build.

The role

This is a founding engineer role building our core warehouse software in production at 360, working directly alongside a founder with deep domain knowledge who is hands-on with development. You’ll own the architecture and the critical parts. Two projects sit in front of you:

1. Core warehouse software (WCS). Custom software that orchestrates the flow of information between our WMS (Ongoing) and the automation systems on our floor - AutoStore, sorting, and the robotics coming next. Off-the-shelf orchestration software wasn’t built for the way a multi-merchant 3PL actually operates, and it tends to be closed: no real API to build against, rigid UX, slow or impossible to iterate on. We want something API-first and flexible - software we can extend ourselves and that won’t block the next generation of robotics coming to the floor. The integrations are well documented, so the real work is solid data modelling and sound logic for order flow, prioritisation and inventory management.
2. Continued development of our platform. Extending and hardening the operational platform we already run the business on.

These could converge: the platform plus the WCS spun out into a full-stack software suite for 3PLs.

This software is business-critical - it holds the truth about where every item lives in the AutoStore. With hundreds of thousands of storage locations and millions of transactions a year, sound data modelling and low-latency, high-throughput backend logic really matter.

Who we’re looking for

A developer who wants a startup journey, not a contract. Someone who can program at a high level, owns problems end to end, and is happy to roll up their sleeves and drive things forward with limited structure around them.

Your background

• Strong backend engineering - you’re comfortable with data modelling, databases and handling high transaction volumes at low latency
• The ability to own architecture and the critical parts of a system, and to make sound technology choices
• A self-driven, founding mentality - you set direction, try things and aren’t afraid to fail fast (modern, AI-assisted development very welcome)
• Genuine excitement about robotics and where it converges with software

Bonus points

• Experience from a startup or early-stage environment
• Experience with warehouse/automation systems (AutoStore, WMS, sorting) or systems integration
• Full-stack range (frontend can be automated or supplemented, but breadth helps)

We care more about what you can actually build than about formal degrees or an exact number of years. This isn’t a junior role, but it doesn’t require decades either - we’re looking for someone who intuitively understands the problem and can grow with it.

Where this is going

You’ll build the WCS and platform in production at 360 from day one, which gives you real problems and real usage immediately. If it works, commercialising it to other operators is a natural next step - there are thousands of automated warehouses worldwide and a broad 3PL software market beyond that. If we license the software out as a separate company, the natural step for you is to be a co-founder of that entity, with a path toward a technical leadership role as the team grows. We’re looking for someone who wants to join us on that journey.

What we offer

• Full ownership of the architecture and technology choices for a business-critical system, from a blank page
• A genuine founding opportunity: build in production, prove it, and help spin it out into its own company
• Close, daily collaboration with a hands-on founder with deep domain knowledge
• A competitive base salary combined with meaningful equity and ownership upside - structured so you share in the value you create
• A small, high-trust team that values getting things done over process

Practical information

• Location: Drøbak - about 25 minutes from Oslo. This is an on-site role; being close to the robots and the operation matters, especially early on, with room for flexibility as projects allow.
• Language: English is fine - much of our communication and systems are in English.
• Timeline: We review candidates and start the process from the beginning August
