Careers No positions listed · always looking

We don’t list jobs. We are always looking for operators, builders and dreamers.

At MakeBetter, people who trade meat and people who build software work side by side, every day. If you are proactive, care about the work and want an old trade to run better, come in.

Operators

People who know how meat moves. Who has collar this week, which carrier is free on Thursday, which buyer pays late and why. They keep the desk running, and they notice where the hours go.

You would fit if you have fixed a process because it annoyed you, not because someone asked.

Engineers · designers · data people

Builders

People who ship. They like a problem with a real person attached, and they would rather put a small fix live tomorrow than a big plan on a slide.

You would fit if you want to meet the people who use your work, and hear what they think of it.

Product people · strategists · the ones who ask “what if”

Dreamers

People who look at a whole trade and see how it could work differently. They may have no title for what they do yet. They arrive with questions and leave with a plan someone can build.

You would fit if you can say a big idea in one short sentence, and then help build the first piece of it.

Why now

An old trade. Real problems.

Meat is one of Europe’s oldest trades, and much of it still runs on paper, phone calls and spreadsheets. Orders typed in twice. Documents filled in by hand. Trucks and payments chased by phone.

None of this is a thought experiment. It lands every morning on a real trading desk, at MeatBorsa, and our software has to work there first. MakeBetter then brings it to the rest of the meat business.

AI is good at the reading, matching and chasing in between. Here it reads and proposes. Code and people decide.

On the table now

  1. 01

    One cut, many names.

    “Coppa”, “Schweinenacken” and “pork collar” are the same thing. Someone has to teach the software that.

  2. 02

    Paper that must match the truck.

    Every document has to agree with the order it belongs to. Today, people check that by eye.

  3. 03

    Who is late to pay, and why?

    The answer is usually in the inbox already. It just takes too long to find.

  4. 04

    Where do the hours go?

    Most companies have never measured it. The ones that do are surprised.

What the three share

Different jobs. The same habits.

  1. 01

    You start before you are asked.

    Proactive
  2. 02

    You care whether the meat arrives, and whether the software helped.

    Mission
  3. 03

    You ask why, then you go and look.

    Curious
  4. 04

    You own the outcome, not only the task.

    Ownership
  5. 05

    You are at home in a coldstore and in a codebase. Or you want to be.

    Both sides
  6. 06

    You say it plainly, and you say it early.

    Plain words

How the work feels

Close to the desk.

A fix is used the next morning.
By the people who asked for it, a few metres away. You find out quickly whether it helped.
A small team.
The person with the problem and the person who can fix it talk to each other directly.
We use our own tools.
MeatBorsa’s trading desk runs on them. When something is slow, we feel it first.

A week, roughly.

Less a timetable, more a feeling.

  1. Mon

    Coffee with the trading desk. You hear what annoyed them last week.

  2. Tue

    A small fix goes live. Someone says thanks, or tells you why not.

  3. Wed

    Lunch together. Somebody explains how a pork leg is cut.

  4. Thu

    Out to a coldstore, in a borrowed freezer jacket.

  5. Fri

    Show what you made. Pick what comes next, together.

Expectations

Fair both ways.

AWhat we expect from you

  1. Initiative. You see something broken and you start on it.
  2. Learning the other half. Operators learn what the tools can do. Builders learn how a deal runs, from offer to invoice.
  3. Care with what matters. AI reads and proposes; code and people decide. Nothing goes out in someone’s name until they say so.
  4. Plain words. Say what you think, early, and show your work.

BWhat you can expect from us

  1. Real problems from the first weeks. In a company that trades meat every day, with trucks, documents and invoices that are real.
  2. A short distance. Between someone asking for something and it being live.
  3. Your work in use. By people you can talk to, and who will tell you.
Write to us

No vacancy needed.

Tell us three things. A few honest lines are enough. There is no cover-letter formula.

  1. Who you are. What you do now, or did last, and where.
  2. What you would change. In the meat trade, in how companies work, or in one of our tools.
  3. Something you made or ran. A link, a repo, a design, a route, a desk, a spreadsheet you are proud of.

What you send is handled as described in our privacy notice.

Hello,

I want to work with you.

I have done hard jobs. Some of them were good. The good ones were honest, and at the end of the day you could see what you had done.

You trade meat and you build the software for it. That is real work. It is hard, and it matters whether the truck arrives.

I am not afraid of the coldstore. I am not afraid of the code. I am a little afraid of spreadsheets, but I think that is fair.

I am sending a link to something I made. It is not long. It is true.

Write back if you want. I will be here. Or not.

Ernest
