Software Engineer, Logistics Platform

190k – 230kLos Angeles, CARemote
Summary

Builds and owns backend platform systems for logistics including data normalization, APIs, and observability tools to support shipping workflows. Partners cross-functionally to improve data quality and operational efficiency in a fast-paced marketplace environment.

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Build and improve source-of-truth systems, APIs, and internal platform interfaces that other teams depend on for logistics workflows and decisions.
  • Own backend and platform work across logistics data quality, shipment state normalization, observability, and operational debugging surfaces.
  • Partner closely with Product, Data Science, CX, Ops, Trust, and Finance to turn messy real-world logistics problems into durable systems and better user outcomes.
  • Improve the correctness, timeliness, and usability of the logistics data that powers support, trust, product, and operational workflows.
  • Build tooling, monitoring, and debugging primitives that help teams detect problems earlier and get to truth faster.
  • Use AI thoughtfully in day-to-day engineering work to improve quality, learning speed, debugging, and execution — while keeping a strong independent bar for correctness and risk judgment.

Requirements

  • Experience building and owning meaningful backend or platform systems in production at the senior scope — i.e. developing and owning moderate-to-complex software, disambiguating meaningful problems, and collaborating effectively with stakeholders and cross-functional partners.
  • Strong product judgment and the ability to connect technical work to user impact, business outcomes, and explicit trade-offs.
  • Experience in complex marketplace, coordination, delivery, fulfillment, trust, or post-purchase systems where software decisions interact with messy real-world state.
  • Strong instincts around data quality, source-of-truth systems, observability, and operational debugging.
  • A thoughtful approach to AI: not just using AI for more output, but using it to improve the quality of engineering work while knowing where verification and independent judgment still matter.
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, high-ownership environments with ambiguity and shifting priorities.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience in adjacent domains like rideshare coordination, food delivery, marketplace fulfillment, trust/risk operations, or order tracking and exception-handling systems.
  • Experience working on a marketplace or other two-sided platform.
  • Direct experience in logistics, shipping, or fulfillment systems.
