Freight marketplace connecting shippers with autonomous carriers in Brazil
Redefrete operates a two-sided logistics marketplace in Brazil, matching freight demand from shippers with carrier availability in real time. The tech stack is modern and full-stack (Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, AWS/GCP/Azure), but hiring velocity reveals the company's actual center of gravity: finance, logistics, and sales roles dominate the active pipeline, with only one engineering slot open. The project list (structured P&L, pricing models, financial consolidation, SLA compliance) and pain points (delivery delays, margin distortions, labor law compliance) indicate Redefrete is scaling operational discipline and financial rigor faster than product velocity—a pattern typical of marketplace operators maturing from growth to profitability.
Redefrete is a freight marketplace platform based in Barueri, São Paulo, founded in 2016. The business model connects shippers (freight contractors) seeking transport with autonomous carriers, automating dispatch and pricing to reduce shipper costs and increase driver earnings. The platform spans full-supply-chain logistics: first mile, last mile, line haul, middle mile, and cross-docking services. With 201–500 employees and a Brazil-only hiring footprint, Redefrete is mid-market scale, currently prioritizing operational standardization (P&L management, financial controls, labor compliance, pricing strategy) over feature expansion.
Node.js, Next.js, Express, Prisma, PostgreSQL, MySQL, TypeScript, JavaScript, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Cloud infrastructure spans AWS, GCP, and Azure.
