About the role
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.
