Tech Pipeline specializes in fixing the friction points that stop daily operations from running smoothly. We are currently supporting a major Spanish logistics corporation as they struggle to align their growing tech stack with their actual workflows. We need a Junior Research Analyst to help us trace data errors and identify why specific processes are stalling in their internal systems.
About the role
Many organizations reach a point where their software no longer matches their operations. This is exactly what happened with our logistics partner in Spain: their routing rules and manual workarounds have created a backlog that slows everything down. As a Junior Research Analyst, you will not be drafting abstract strategy decks. Instead, you will be looking at the ground truth of how data moves from point A to point B. This is a fully remote role where your primary focus is finding the specific gaps where information gets lost or approvals get stuck. Your work ensures that when we hand over a system, the client can actually run it without further intervention.
What you will be doing
We believe that the best work happens when people have the space to think and the documentation they need to move forward. At Tech Pipeline, we avoid the cycle of constant meetings that often plagues remote teams. Instead, we rely on thorough written updates and clear logs to stay aligned. Our focus is always on the technical reality of the system, not on high-level frameworks or long-term consulting retainers. We value people who are grounded, direct, and more interested in fixing a broken routing rule than in voicing a theory. When you work here, you are part of a team that cares about leaving every client with a system that actually works.
