We are looking for a senior full-stack software engineer to help build and improve our logistics technology platform. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can work across backend services, frontend applications, integrations, data, and production-facing systems. The right person can understand business requirements, make sound technical decisions, and deliver maintainable software without needing every step fully specified.
Responsibilities and Duties
· Build and maintain backend services, APIs, internal tools, and customer-facing workflows
· Develop modern frontend applications using TypeScript and React
· Work with event-sourced systems, projections, background processing, and external integrations
· Integrate with logistics, CRM, email, cloud, and vendor systems
· Write maintainable, tested code in a monorepo environment
· Help improve build, deployment, CI/CD, and developer workflows
· Troubleshoot issues across application code, data, integrations, and cloud services
· Collaborate with leadership and business users to turn requirements into practical software solutions
Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

Technology Environment
Our current environment includes Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, AWS, Terraform, Bazel, GitLab CI, and third-party logistics integrations. Direct experience with every tool is not required. We value the ability to learn quickly, reason clearly, and make reliable engineering decisions.
What Makes Someone Successful Here
You are pragmatic, dependable, and comfortable with broad responsibility. You ask good questions, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and care about software that works for real business users. You should be comfortable joining a small team where senior engineers contribute across product, engineering, and platform concerns while staying focused on business value.
