Job description

Carpool is the logistics infrastructure powering the modern car economy. We combine a proprietary technology platform with a vetted carrier network of 13,000+ transporters to move 200,000+ vehicles annually for dealerships, auctions, OEMs, and fleets nationwide. Headquartered in Atlanta, Carpool is one of the fastest-growing companies in vehicle logistics — and we’re building the team to match.

The Role

Carpool is hiring a Junior Reports Developer to help build the reporting systems that make the business visible: financial reports, at-risk account views, load tracking dashboards, and the data workflows behind them. You’ll work closely with your manager, a mentor, and stakeholders in Finance, Operations, and other teams to turn business questions into accurate SQL, Laravel/Livewire reporting features, PHPUnit tests, and QuickSight dashboards. This is an early‑career engineering role for someone who is careful with numbers, hungry to learn, and ready to use AI tools thoughtfully without outsourcing their judgment.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain reporting features in the TMS, starting with Monthly Financials and expanding into At Risk Accounts, Load Tracking, and other business‑critical report areas.
• Write SQL for joins, aggregations, computed columns, window functions, exports, and financial calculations that stakeholders can trust.
• Add report columns, filters, formatting, CSV export fields, and Livewire/Blade UI updates that make reports easier to use on a normal workday.
• Write PHPUnit feature tests for happy paths, filters, edge cases, and calculations so reporting changes do not quietly break later.
• Partner with Finance, Operations, and product stakeholders to understand how reports are used, scope new metrics, and validate numbers before shipping.
• Build or modify Amazon QuickSight dashboards tied to real business KPIs, with support from senior team members as you ramp.
• Use Cursor and Codex to navigate the codebase, scaffold queries and tests, and explore unfamiliar patterns, while reviewing generated code line by line.
• Participate in code review, team demos, planning, and documentation so what you learn becomes easier for the next person to pick up.

What You Bring

• A strong SQL foundation: joins, group by, aggregations, window functions, EXPLAIN, and enough curiosity to understand where each number comes from.
• Hands‑on experience with PHP, Laravel, or a comparable MVC framework, plus interest in growing with Eloquent, migrations, Blade, Livewire, and PHPUnit.
• Care for data correctness. You double‑check calculations, sanity‑check edge cases, and do not ship a number you cannot explain.
• A testing mindset: you understand why reports need coverage and are willing to write tests that catch real regressions, not just prove code ran once.
• Clear communication habits: specific questions, useful PR descriptions, written summaries of stakeholder conversations, and early escalation when you get stuck.
• Comfort learning with AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Codex, Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude, paired with the discipline to review output critically.
• Bonus points for QuickSight, dashboarding, MySQL performance work, Laravel Sail, GitHub Actions, logistics, finance, operations, or marketplace reporting experience.

Compensation

Carpool offers a competitive compensation package: base salary and comprehensive benefits. We’re a venture‑backed company headquartered in Buckhead at Atlanta Tech Village (ATV), a startup community with mentors and advisors built in. Carpool Logistics is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Why Carpool

This role gives you a structured path into real reporting engineering. You will start with focused, high‑value report work, learn from recent PRs and senior reviewers, and grow toward owning full reporting features end to end.

• Ship work the business actually uses, from Monthly Financials to At Risk Accounts to Load Tracking, instead of building reports that disappear into a folder.
• Learn close to the source: Finance, Operations, and other stakeholders will show you how reporting decisions affect daily work.
• Grow with a clear 30/60/90 ramp, mentor pairing, code review, stakeholder shadowing, and increasingly meaningful ownership as you prove readiness.
• Build depth across SQL, Laravel, Livewire, PHPUnit, QuickSight, and performance basics while working inside a modern TMS product.
• Join an AI‑forward engineering culture where Cursor and Codex are expected tools, but correctness, tests, and human judgment still carry the day.
