Staff Software Engineer

### Who you are
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency with TypeScript, Node.js, including API design, performance, and debugging in production
- Familiarity with frontend development in React
- Production operational competence: observability (logs/metrics/traces), incident response, root-cause analysis, and on-call readiness
- Experience with distributed systems fundamentals: consistency tradeoffs, failure modes, timeouts, retries, and graceful degradation
- Proficiency with datastores (SQL strongly preferred; NoSQL a plus) including schema design, migrations, and query performance
- Hands-on experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and cloud-native deployments (Docker/Kubernetes on AWS/Azure/GCP)
- Ability to own architecture and code end-to-end in a high ownership, low process environment
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
- Experience designing and operating microservices in production: service boundaries, versioning, backward compatibility, and reliability
- GraphQL experience (schema design, performance, caching) or strong REST + contract discipline
- Experience working in a CI/CD environment: automated builds, safe deploys, rollbacks, feature flags, and environment promotion
- Background in transportation, logistics, or complex B2B integrations

### What the job involves
- Write, test, and deploy production-quality code; establish code review and documentation standards
- Implement message-driven workflows (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and reusable integration components
- Improve the code structure and architecture as you develop new features
- Be the technical lead for projects, contributing to the planning, design, development, deployment, and maintenance of product features. You will drive design + delivery, not people management
- Ensure that technical and inter-team dependencies are understood and accounted for
- Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain
- Mentor junior developers and ensure that established codebase standards are adhered to
