Third-party logistics broker connecting shippers and carriers across air, ocean, rail, and road
Traffic Tech operates a 3PL brokerage connecting 2,000 employees across seven countries to match freight customers with carriers. The tech stack reveals a modernization effort underway: Python + FastAPI + Django backends, PostgreSQL + Kafka for data movement, Kubernetes + ArgoCD for infrastructure, and active adoption of dbt — signaling a shift from legacy SSIS pipelines toward cloud-native data architecture. Sales dominates hiring (45 open roles), while engineering and data teams remain lean, indicating a sales-driven org scaling client acquisition faster than internal platform maturity.
