Requirements:
5-8 years of software engineering experience. Proven experience designing large-scale, event-driven or distributed systems (ideally in fulfillment, logistics or e-commerce). Experience implementing and managing integrations with a wide range of external logistics and technology partners that power warehouse and transportation operations. Track record of leading engineers through ambiguous, cross-functional projects and delivering production software that moves key business metrics. Fluency in at least one modern programming language (Ruby, Go, and Python preferred). Proven experience with relational databases (e.g., Postgres, MySQL). Built production services on a major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure or similar). Highly skilled with modern observability stacks like Datadog. Practical knowledge of optimization, forecasting, or decision-science techniques. Bias for automated testing, continuous delivery, and observability. Strong communication skills.
Responsibilities:
Influence the evolution of our multi-carrier shipping platform—rate shopping, label generation, tracking ingestion, and returns workflows. Design fault-tolerant services that reconcile hundreds of thousands of carrier events per day and surface real-time shipment status to downstream systems. Ensure comprehensive visibility into warehouse operations and precise ingestion of new merchandise. Mentor engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and thoughtful feedback. Instrument, monitor, and tune our services for reliability, latency, and cost. Translate business goals (cost, delivery promise) into technical roadmaps that balance short-term wins with long-term scalability.
