Senior Software Engineer

What You’ll Do

Hands-On Development

• 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

Technical Leadership

• 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

Collaboration & Growth

• 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.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ 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.

Bonus 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.

Compensation (Washington-based)

Salary range: $155,000 - $211,000 + target bonus.
