📋 Description

• Own and evolve core systems for freight brokerage operations and related services: quoting, booking, pricing and rate logic, contracts, carrier compliance, facility matching and location/address data quality, and scheduling-oriented workflows. • Lead technical initiatives across several Python/Django services, including design, phased rollout, and safe deprecation—not only single-service features. • Build and maintain user-facing work in the freight brokerage web application (modern JavaScript/TypeScript and React): new flows, complex forms and workflows, performance and UX fixes, and integration with backend APIs, alongside backend changes when features span the stack. • Drive platform and reliability work: database and dependency upgrades, search/indexing changes, performance tuning (queries, indexing, caching), secrets/credential patterns, and tooling that prevents bad deployments (e.g. migration safety, validation pipelines). • Ship high-impact product and revenue work: pricing and benchmark integrations, compliance/load-registration flows, feature-flag and segmentation strategies, and scope-shaping that ties technical design to business outcomes. • Define engineering standards for the squad and beyond: ADRs, shared client/integration layers, test and observability patterns, and code review culture that teaches (SOLID, architecture, thorough PRs), including shared patterns between API and UI. • Operate production systems: incident response, war-room coordination, root-cause analysis, and fast stabilization PRs when freight brokerage operations are at risk. • Collaborate tightly with product on discovery and requirements—framing problems, narrowing scope with technical options, and sometimes presenting outcomes to senior stakeholders. • Mentor and level up teammates through pairing, design review, and informal leadership, without necessarily being a people manager.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience as a Software Developer • Senior full-stack engineer with a track record of owning ambiguous, multi-step projects end-to-end across API and UI (design, implementation, rollout, observability), comparable to tech-lead-level delivery on a business-critical system. • Strong Python and Django (or demonstrably deep transfer: e.g. long professional experience in Java/JVM ecosystems plus substantial Python web work in production). • PostgreSQL expertise: schema design, production database migrations, query plans, indexing, and fixing latency/regression issues—not only CRUD. • Distributed systems and multi-service reality: async jobs/queues, events, idempotency, integration failures, and debugging across service boundaries. • Proven impact outside “greenfield” only: experience in large or evolving codebases, modernization (framework/DB/search/runtime upgrades), or cost/performance work with measurable outcomes. • Production mindset: on-call or equivalent experience, incident response, and prioritizing stability under operational load. • Technical leadership without relying on title: examples of leading migrations, integrations, or architecture decisions; mentoring; and aligning engineers across teams. • Clear written and verbal communication: design docs, ADRs, RFCs, or review threads that other engineers adopt as reference. • Preferred strong frontend development with TypeScript and React: component design, state and data fetching, forms and validation, testing, and debugging in a sizable product codebase—comfortable shipping meaningful changes in the freight brokerage web application, not only small tweaks.
