Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer role at Rose Rocket.

Rose Rocket is a market leader in Transportation Management Software. We’re a startup targeting the $700+ billion trucking industry, leading the shift to SaaS and revolutionizing how trucking companies sell, service, and innovate. We foster a "more human, less corporate" culture centered on meaningful work, teamwork, and celebrating success. We’d love to hear from you if you want to build this with us.

We understand that joining a team is a significant decision, and adding a new team member is equally important for us. Our process aims to help you get to know us, understand how you approach problems, learn, and what motivates you.

The Role

At Rose Rocket, we're seeking Senior Software Engineers eager to join a dynamic, innovative team and make a real impact in the logistics industry. Our engineering department is divided into two exciting areas:

• Platform Team: Build the backbone of Rose Rocket's next-gen logistics platform! Create scalable tools and frameworks that enable our product teams and customers to craft tailored solutions. Work with cutting-edge tech, laying the foundation for logistics software's future.
• Segment Team: Design, build, and deliver high-impact features that provide meaningful value to our customers. Join a stream-aligned team using the Rose Rocket platform to advance logistics solutions, understand customer needs deeply, and push software innovation boundaries.

What You’ll Do

• Drive key features from concept to delivery, directly impacting the trucking industry.
• Engage in an environment promoting experimentation, continuous learning, and growth.
• Collaborate with cross-functional, product-focused teams in a supportive, mentorship-driven setting.
• Utilize modern web technologies such as:
• Backend: NodeJS, NestJS, Typescript
• Frontend: React, Redux, WebSockets
• Database: PostgreSQL, Redis, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions

What You Need To Succeed

• 5+ years (or equivalent experience) developing robust solutions in production environments.
• Strong expertise in backend architecture, database design, and modern JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue.
• Passion for mentoring and coaching engineers—help others grow while growing yourself.
• Experience with agile project management tools (JIRA, Asana, or Linear).
• Proficiency with Git and understanding of version control best practices.

Don’t worry if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications. We value growth and curiosity. If you have some of these qualities and are excited about this opportunity, we want to hear from you!
