Backend Developer (PHP) (Full Remote possible)

Convelio is a licensed freight forwarding startup evolving at the intersection of Tech, Logistics and the Art World(e)The startup specialises in the global shipping of high-end goods: paintings, sculptures, basically any valuable or bulky merchandise.

We've developed our own proprietary algorithm to offer competitive real-time shipping quotes and an end-to-end logistics service to the art market(e)Our mission is to become a tech-driven company in a traditional industry, and therefore make the shipping of bulky and valuable items as easy as possible for any business across the world by providing an online and seamless experience.

We currently serve a wide range of customers from art galleries, antique dealers, auction houses, online platforms to interior designers.

With 200+ colleagues scattered across Paris & London and now New York as well, Convelio has a strong start-up & international culture(e)We thrive in solving complex logistics issues for our clients, enabling both sellers and buyers in the art market(e)We are backed by proven technology, prominent VC’s, and boast a global network and the resources (€30 million Series B funding in March 2022) to seize the market opportunity

Our company is technology-driven and is growing the Product & Tech teams to build new digital solutions for both its clients and its suppliers in the art industry.

We have different great products in constant communication, that are developed to bring the fine-art market to a whole new level.

We are building tech for:

• Art sellers, with our Instant Quoting tool for their shipping - a revolution in a market where shipping is slow, complex and opaque(e)Also, our API allows art galleries, auction houses and other art sellers to display our shipping prices directly on their website - a way to bring transparency and speed into their processes.

• Art-shippers, to help our suppliers manage their operations easier thanks to data and process automation, gain in efficiency and save time on low added value tasks

• Art-logisticians (us!), to automate most of the logistics chain, improve internal processes for our teams and design an enjoyable working experience...and a lot more!

Shipping is considered as one of the biggest challenges in growing the online art market(e)We believe technology will provide unmatched customer experience through digital services and optimize operations efficiency through automation of logistics.
