What You'll Do

• Take customer-facing features from discovery through design, implementation, and production.

• Design secure, auditable data models and event-driven pipelines for agent workflows.

• Build internal and external APIs and a real-time console that gives users visibility into operations.

• Develop integrations with enterprise resource planning systems, logistics providers, retailers, and freight partners.

• Create resilient synchronization systems to keep connected platforms in step.

• Establish observability, service-level objectives, and on-call practices for critical workflows.

• Work across backend, data engineering, and frontend systems to address high-impact needs.

What We're Looking For

• Typically 2 to 6 years of software engineering experience, including hands-on, product-oriented startup or small-team experience outside consulting.

• A strong full-stack foundation and experience building robust, reliable production systems.

• Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, queues or streams, and AWS or GCP; React and Tailwind are also part of the stack.

• Ability to lead work end to end, with sound systems thinking and product intuition.

• Experience in a high-growth startup or small team. Candidates with substantial big-tech experience should also bring startup or small-team experience.

• Strong technical fundamentals demonstrated through relevant education or experience at a high-growth startup or established technology company.
