  • Guide technical architecture decisions across the entire stack from database to UI
  • Unblock and motivate team members, providing constructive feedback and fostering continuous learning
  • Prioritize work to ensure the team focuses on the highest-impact problems
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver human-centered solutions
  • Support additional projects as needed, potentially including other logistics technology, productivity tools, or AI/ML initiatives

What We're Looking For

  • Approximately 8+ years building and shipping production software systems
  • Proven technical leadership experience with a track record of guiding development teams

  • Previous experience in the logistics industry and genuine interest in transportation technology
  • Experience building or working with transportation management systems specifically
  • Deep understanding of the full engineering stack: databases, servers, APIs, and user interfaces
  • Track record creating self-documenting, performant code with future maintainability in mind
  • Experience working cross-functionally in fast-paced, high-iteration environments

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience with React Native, GraphQL, DevOps, or CI/CD pipelines
  • Knowledge of ML/LLMs and their practical applications
  • Familiarity with additional backend technologies like Node.js/TypeScript, C#/.NET, or Java/Spring
  • Experience with MySQL, MongoDB, Docker, or REST APIs

Personal Qualities:

  • You're a self-starter who brings infectious energy and motivates others
  • You're candid but respectful, sharing difficult information when necessary and admitting mistakes
  • You thrive in ambiguity and aren't held back by fear of being wrong
  • You have empathy for developers and end users, building with both audiences in mind
