Work with us

We love logistics, and we are all about improving the processes in our customers' supply chain.

We have always grown slowly and organically by choice. Mostly by hiring via referrals and the network of our colleagues.

However, at the point that Starware reached the size of approximately 60 people, we came to a point where we continuously look for new candidates.

So, we felt it was time to create a single place of information about all career possibilities at Starware.
