• Collaborate closely with product managers to translate business requirements into technical solutions.




• Set the bar for effective use of AI-assisted development on the team.




• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and contribute to sound technical decision-making.

2. Cloud Architecture

• Serve as a senior voice in AWS design decisions, contributing to service selection, networking, security boundaries, scaling, and cost, and carrying cloud work end to end rather than handing it off.




• Demonstrate ownership of architectural decisions and the ability to explain and defend technology choices.




• Partner with our Tech Lead to document and broaden knowledge of our AWS environment.




• Own and contribute to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using technologies such as AWS CDK or Terraform.




• Design and implement event-driven systems to enable real-time processing and decision-making, enhancing the agility and responsiveness of our logistics operations.




• Architect and optimize systems for scalability, performance, and high availability to support our rapidly growing user base.

3. Logistics Expertise

• Leverage your understanding of logistics processes and systems to design and implement software solutions that optimize supply chain operations.




• Apply software engineering and technical expertise to support solutions within the logistics and intermodal freight domain.

4. API Integration

• Architect and develop robust APIs for seamless integration with third-party systems, ensuring efficient data exchange and interoperability.




• Apply strong API design and development practices to build scalable and reliable integrations.

5. EDI Integration

• Lead efforts in designing, implementing, and managing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems, ensuring seamless communication between our platform and external partners.




• EDI experience is considered an advantage but is not a mandatory requirement; training will be provided to the right candidate.

Qualifications

Required / Non-Negotiable

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.




• At least 5 years of professional experience building software applications.




• Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript and TypeScript, and common frameworks such as Node.js, Express, React, etc. All new development is in TypeScript.




• At least 2 years of experience with AWS architecture.




• Demonstrated ability to defend and explain AWS technology and architecture decisions.




• Hands-on ownership of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS CDK or Terraform.




• Experience with AWS services such as AWS Lambda, ECS, Fargate, and Aurora PostgreSQL.




• Demonstrated AWS architecture ownership, including experience with service selection, scalability, networking, security, performance, and cost considerations.




• Experience in API design and development.




• Experience working with SQL and relational databases.




• Expertise in or strong hands-on experience with event-driven architecture and real-time processing.




• Proven leadership and mentoring abilities.
