Senior Software Engineer, Autonomous Freight Systems

5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production-grade systems with increasing levels of independence.

Deep Ownership Instinct: You hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just outputs. When something breaks, you fix it—and you make sure it doesn't break again.

Full-Stack Fluency: You can own a feature from the database to the browser. You are opinionated about schema design, API contracts, and frontend architecture, not just one layer.

AI/LLM Hands-On Experience: You have built software that integrates LLMs into real user workflows—not just proof-of-concepts, but production systems. You understand the practical challenges: latency, reliability, prompt fragility, and cost.

Agency and Drive: You identify the next most important problem without being asked. You default to action, propose solutions, and bring others along.

Technical Rigor: A genuine passion for simple, well-tested, well-structured code. You push back on complexity and leave systems better than you found them.

Communication: You can explain a technical tradeoff clearly to a product manager and to a staff engineer. Your design docs and code reviews are worth reading.

Proficiency with deploying, monitoring, and maintaining production services on cloud infrastructure (AWS).

Experience with elements of our tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails, React, AWS.

Familiarity with agentic patterns, RAG, or workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal).

Experience in logistics, supply chain, freight technology, or pricing systems.

A bias for action: when you see a problem, you own the fix.
